When are car makers gonna understand that a person who buys a muscle car doesn't need 4 layers of sound deadening, power accessories and all that?
These cars need to be bare-bones with a big nasty engine.

There is going to be a 1LE version of this Camaro jsut like there was with the others (IE no power anything, AC and option, and some upgraded parts).
Also keep in mind not everyone just wants a big engine and 4 wheels.

Its a problem that has plagued GM for years. Look at the Impala SS cars, the new GTO, the 4th Gen Camaros and Firebirds. They're all bloated turds. They need to trim the fat on these cars.

4th gen Camaro SS, 3490lbs with ttops, power, and leather.
Power to the wheels, 275hp and 310tq from the Lt1 and 310hp and 330tq from the LS1.
Seems like good power to me, for the price point they dominated. And even still they dominate all but the SC mustangs.
Trim the fat you say, if they do that they take away too many buyers, If you want a stripped out hull then buy one and take everything out of it.
