As much as I love the Hilux, pretty sure an RPG would destroy a Hilux. Great engineering though.

But that graph is off. A small block V8 '69 does not weigh just over 3000 lbs, that's insane. As per Jim Osborn, the small-block weighs 3145 lbs, add a couple hundred more for the bigger block V8. Either way, 3000+ lbs is pretty heavy for a car that didn't have all the safety features/crash compliant reinforcement there is today.

Since the Camaro was never a light car to begin with, the spirit of the car isn't it being lightweight. Yes, I think the new Camaro is too heavy, but it's still in line with the original imo. Neither are exactly Miatas.
