I think they'll take the new 3700 lb. Mustang as an excuse to give us another heavyweight Camaro

It's a vicious cycle: Big/heavy '05 Mustang led GM to make an even more stupidly huge/heavy '10 Camaro. That Camaro let Ford get away with a still-way-oversized-and-even-heavier '15 Mustang. This Mustang, guaranteed, will influence the next Camaro in exactly the bigger/heavier direction
Kind of like the 60/70s all over again?
