Perhaps i'm alone on this, but i disagree 100%.

Camaros are around 3800. Mustangs are 3600.

Everything is heavier. Impact standards, mandatory safety tech, plus things that people want, like comfortable heated power seats and sound deadening. Nobody likes wind noise.

Very true... but I think, it'll be cool to see Solstice size & weight muscle car... but hell, that's JDM car section lol

People do LS3 Solstice/Skys. However, that is miscomprehending why we have the muscle car. The muscle car is supposed to be a 2+2 coupe with a big engine that handles decently, will cruise comfortably, and goes like stink cruising the wide boulevards and highways of America. They're supposed to be low cost GT cars.

You want something the size of a Solstice with a muscle car power? GM would be happy to sell you a Corvette. Anything smaller than that and GM doesn't want the liability of the hairy handling that would come with. This is why I highly doubt we'll ever see anything like a modern day 427 Cobra.

It's not an obsession, it's required by law in most countries.
