a) I honestly don't see the 6th gen Camaro being lighter than the ATS. I can imagine some chassis component swapping (to save money), which could potentially make it heavier; however, I'd also imagine removing some of the luxury items, which should result in weight savings.
b) The 2016 ATS will probably be making that from its 2.0 turbo (280/265). What I'd like to see though is some type of factory stage 1 kit for the Camaro (reminiscent of the one for the Cobalt SS, except standard) to bump output to around 310 hp and 345 ft-lbs.
c) It's my understanding (and I could well be wrong), that the gen V 5.3 is only going to be a truck engine (same with the new 4.3 V6). Of course, even if that's the case now, it could always change.
