This is the same V6 as the 5th gen Camaro and should way pretty much the same at about 345 lbs. The LS3 weighs about 460 lbs when it was in the Vette, it's the same motor so it should be very close.
Using these figures a v8 powered RWD ATS would weigh about 3538 lbs.
So, assuming the 6th gen Camaro will be on this 109" wheelbase it should be pretty close to the curb of the 2015 ATS plus weight of the V8.
Take that for what it is, but i'm expecting to see a 3500-3600 lbs Camaro.
I was able to find some specs on the LT1 weight wise and it looks to be only about 5 lbs heavier than a LS3, so my LS3 number should be pretty much correct.

Except your missing a lot more than just the extra weight of the engine. Your missing drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and the like. If the weight of the V6 is around 3,500 lbs, expect the V8 to be 3,650+
I'm expecting something around 3,700 lbs, or close to the base Mustang GT. If it is less than 3,700 it will be icing on the cake.
