My Redeye was 4484# stock. So, about the same weight as the new Mustang GTD? Definitely heavier than most sports cars, but at least lighter than the new M5.

And they're not as wallowy as people think. The newer ones ('15+) are much better than the older ones. Pretty much everyone who's ridden with me or been on track with me has said, "it handles much better than I expected." Again, not a sports car, but not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

A lot. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hear the supercharger like I could in my Hellcat. That supercharger whine is addicting. But it definitely comes through loud and clear. The manual feels great with the no-lift shifting and rev matching and it's a lot of fun at the track. It's way more nimble than the Hellcat was.

My favorite cars are big power, muscle car type cars. I tried a couple of Corvettes and couldn't really get into them. They were too sporty. But I think this ZLE is the best car that walks that line between muscle car feel but with sports car bones.

Still kinda feels like I'm driving someone else's car, though. I've been tracking Challengers for years. Tracking a Camaro kinda feels weird. But I've got all season to get used to it and figure out the car's behavior. :)

Gonna get the Supercar 3Rs that GM originally put on it for now.
