ok, some math...

5th Gen 580/4120 gives power to weight of .141

6th Gen 600/3820 (assumption) gives power to weight of .157, a 12% increase.

625 HP = .164 P to W, a 16% increase

640 HP = .168 P to W, a 19% increase

Someone check my math - i rounded up.

Anyway, don't know if we are gonna get 300lb diet or not, but a 15% increase should suffice.
I don't think we'll see a 300 lb weight loss for a sixth gen ZL1 (more like 200), but I'm right with you on output.
