Valid points. I still think lighter is better. Particularly in light of the fact that gas prices aren't likely to go down anytime soon. Unless the eco-weenies finally figure out the best way to not be dependant on foreign oil is to stop buying foreign oil and use our own.
Besides, the weight of the Mopar won't really bother me from the left front seat of a Gen-5 Camaro.
Unforunately, with todays saftey requirements, I don't think a big car like the Challenger can get light unless you start removing serveral hundred pounds of airbags, and computer equipment. The original car was not that light in the first place. Maybe they need to take GM's approach for "on-demand" power like the Northstar has. Overdrive has come along way towards gas milage as well. 6 speed manu-matic would be nice.
