In theory, the alpha Camaro could weigh less than the ATS because a Cadillac presumably includes some "luxury stuff" like soundproofing materials that could be dispensed with in a non-luxury vehicle that will likely start with an MSRP of $10,000 less. On the other hand, perhaps the ATS uses some lightweight metals and parts that would be too expensive to put in a Camaro? I don't know. Maybe it'll more or less be a wash, and the ATS weight figures will basically be what we'll see in the Camaro.
