Some of those weights don't seem correct. Maybe It's just me...

Re: What is the lightest year of Camaro?

They seem pretty correct to me. So the 1967 is the lightest and the 1982 is the second lightest?

Re: What is the lightest year of Camaro?

Those weights seem low to me too-looks like they might
be for base models,suprized they show the '82 as ligter
than the '83 even though the '83 has lighter aluminum
2.5 MPH rated bumper bar vs the 5MPH rated steel bar
in the '82 models. Once in a magazine saw a pretty
loaded '82 hardtop z28 listed at 3440# and a loaded
t-top at 3480# I know the late 2nd gen z28s are up
around 3800.

Re: What is the lightest year of Camaro?

What did they change from 91 to 92 that made that much difference.

All the Curb weight data I have looked at agrees with the chart pretty well. The 1982 had aluminum bumpers too.
