The V6 Camaro is only about 5% heavier than the new EcoBust Stang - and has about 5% more HP.

2015 Mustang Eco-Boost weighs approx 3532 with a manual and approx 3524 with an auto.
2014 Mustang V6 weighs approx 3530.
Depending on where you pulled your numbers there could be a little variance. But not much. Sounds like a wash to me.
You say they knocked 10hp off for comparative purposes.
Yes, the Camaro is heavier. Yes it has a little bit more HP. It is also substantially down on torque from the Eco-Boost with the V6 Camaro coming in at 278 while the little 4 cylinder Mustang pumps out 320.
How did you miss pointing that out?
