Just doing a quick search. I couldn't find the curb weight of a 2011. but a 2010 is 3,401 lbs. Factor in larger rims, smaller engine, more aluminum parts and larger tranny. It's safe to say the 2011 v6 will weigh roughly 3,450 to 3,550 lbs.

2010 Ford Mustang V6 2dr Coupe Overview

The Camaro v6 looks to weigh about 3800 lbs.

As roughly the same specs and gears, I say the Mustang will have a clear edge being 300-400 lbs lighter and more nimble.

However, wait for Motortrend to blow that result.

Sick yeah i couldn't find any weight specs. But i figured it would be even lighter than the current sixer mustang with the newer parts. haha also your about motortrend they aren't that consistent but then again none of the mags are.

2011 V6 mustangs have TONs more horsepower than the 2010 mustangs AND the Camaros.

For sure win for the mustang.

mustangs are lighter but that's a good and bad thing. one draw back is that mustangs do not have much weight in the rear end area, which a lot of ppl complain about. but it helps with the awesome burnouts that we all love

The Mustang's light rear is great for backroad fun The heavier 8.8 rear end swap and trunk battery relocation kit while keeping the spare tire help a bit for weight distribution as does carbon fiber front panels and accessories elimination, but I prefer keeping it as light as possible...

If I need weight back there I just throw some 40lb salt bags in the trunk.

The 2010 V6 Mustang is only 1/2 a second slower to 60 then the 2010 V6 Camaro so the 2011 V6 should blow the Camaro away! lol
