Those with the composite suspension members will have the most weight savings, but those probably only come with the heavier/stiffer pistons on the performance variants to keep them highly competitive on paper.
Personal note 1: Looks like the center console will be going to a more traditional affair with a normal center stack in the dash. I think this is a good thing. I'm looking forward to something more ergonomic and easier to customize.
Personal note 2: My fear that Gen6 is going to end up looking like a Scion FR-S competitor have not yet been quelled. I hope it has all been epic misdirect with the front clip, hood and those lights. "Body by Veilside, lights by APC, bred for the '95 Eclipse, now available in American RWD"? ;o(

I currently daily drive a 2013 Scion FR-S and these cars are not in the same class at all in comparison to a Camaro. Still a drastic weight/power/handling difference. But performance per dollar, my money is going to be on the 2016 Camaro for sure. I don't think it's going to look anything like it tbh. If anything, it's going to look extremely similar to a 5th gen.
FR-S is a headturner, but the Camaro actually has the power to back up the good looks.
