Hard to figure out. Just have to wait for official numbers and for people to weigh them.

The Vette gains about 60 pounds. No additional bracing so that's just for the convertible top/motor.

Camaro has a bigger roof than Vette so it may have wiggle room as far as weight from coupe to convertible goes.. Or, it could be that the soft top and motor weigh close to what the roof on the coupe Camaro weighs and the additional weight is mostly bracing.

Or it's all a misprint.
