I'm sorry, but this is flat-out silly.
If this is the case, then why not have a 7 year "hiatus" between every generation?
I mean seriously, let's not build the Camaro until it has Mr. Fusion and can make 500 horsepower on garbage. That's a feature we'd all like. I'm willing to wait for that new 2030 Camaro, how 'bout you?
I can quite imagine Mustang guys wishing the SN95 cars did not exist, because XM radio was not available yet in 1994.

Those people have the biggest set. They laugh at GM taking 6 months longer to make a Camaro then it did a Challenger, they need to look at the last time Chrysler made an affordable RWD v8 powerd 2 door performance ANYTHING

They sure as hell won't forget what a pig they are driving when they get their asses handed to them by a Camaro at every stoplight.
Sorry, had to throw a jab in there.

And they selectively forget that the Challenger is based off existing architecture while the Camaro is on an all-new platform.

And as far as the whole "Challenger is a heavy pig" line of argument goes, let's wait and find out what these cars (both of 'em) actually weigh before we go too far down that line of discussion, eh?

I haven't heard any Mopar fans laughing at GM over the Camaro delay.

I agree. I have a feeling thay Camaro and Challenger will be very close in weight....
BTW Al, That's an M1 tank not a Challenger tank.

Agreed. And I hope Camaro does come in several hundred pounds less than Challenger. But there are lots of numbers flying around for Camaro - most of them very scary.

Possibly. A Commodore SSV manual weighs 3,950 lbs, but should be longer than the camaro, has two more doors complete with internals/panels, etc.. A 3,600-3,700 lbs camaro would be great (and I think possible), but if she weighs in at 4K, I'll still get one (but I doubt it will be that heavy)

The new G8 sedan weighs in at 3,885 lbs while the G8GT weighs in at 3,995lbs

It won't weigh more than that. Now way it could weigh more than a longer 4 door version. 
*IF* it came in at over 4K, I'd have to take a serious look at the power/fuel econ numbers, but most likely still get it It's just such a damn good looking car
