They may not be pony cars, but they do demonstrate that it's feasible
to get the weight down instead of forever going up. The Vette use to be
a heavy pig. I was also pleased to learn that the Panoz Esperante
weighs in at 3100 - 3200 lbs, though I'd like to see it get under 3000.
I'd like to see the Shelby Mustang down around 3200 - 3400 lbs max.
