Default RE: Z06 VS GT500

Those are all the arguments I brought in my post " Why is the Challenger so Heavy.

BadStratRT......If I recall didn't you say that you didn't mind the extra weight and that your race car (Mirada) you own is heavy and beats everybody most of the time.

You said back on January 19: "keep in mind, that 505hp corvette is the Z06, which uses a great deal of carbon fiber for the body,and magnesium for the frame...its also 70 grand... "
so you know why the Corvette is so light and they also use Balsa wood in the floor board.

That is probably why it weights so much as it doesn't use the exotic materials and why it weight "2 tons".

Don't get me wrong I would prefer to see a 3500 lbs Challenger....I have argued that all along.
