Those are definately some good numbers for the weight it has to pull around. Convertibles have never been my cup of tea, but this should help widen the market for the camaro and give it a boost in sales.

There are several Vettes at dealerships around here that are listed for $46-$49k. No doubt in my mind what I'd rather have. But I'm sure the cars will sell well.

To me it's no contest either. Though i've always been partial to the more sleek, precision-type approach as opposed to the brute force idea. So the Vette is more "me" I suppose.

Funny, its still lighter then the Challenger. 
The weight of this car will not change until the car gets its refresh since they are putting it on a different platform.
They have a fully equipped model they tested, so yeah that can really rack up the price since options add up quickly.
BTW, Base bottom of the line C6 starts at 48k.
Just because 1 dealer near you has one for cheaper then MSRP doesnt mean they all will when comparing prices you have to do MSRP not what some random dealer does.
