You can hope that but at this time with so little known about both cars (especially the Camaro) that is really going out on a limb.

True, but you can easily imagine what an LT1 would do in a ATS. It has to be good!!

The problem is that the ATS won't be as light as it is now, as it's made for a 4 cylinder power plant. With the heavier duty components to support a V8 in it, it will gain some weight. I think it's still a better platform then a polished up S197.

Keep an eye on the ATS-V (might be revealed in Detroit?)....I'd say that should give us an idea of what a car with V8-like power and powertrain will weigh on the Alpha SWB chassis. Not sure if the LF3 TTV6 weighs more or less than the LT1 V8, but by the time you remove some of the creature comforts, and the mag ride the Cadillac would have, the Camaro V8 could end up weighing less.

I can imagine that it'll be like the C7. Yeah maybe over the whole line they cut 300-400lbs...BEFORE they added in better, higher quality, and stronger materials. Plus new gadgets and whatnot that today's consumer demands. After all that, I can imagine only the slightest of weight loss...if any. But overall it should be a better performer and be much nicer overall than S197.

GT manual: 3,618 GT auto: 3,675 Convertibles are over 3,700 http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/spe...ions/view-all/ I believe the next gen Camaro SS could get right at or under that weight.

Ford says the goal of the 2015 GT with the Performance Pack is to be faster then the Boss 302. Probably very doable with better brakes, suspension, comparable power and if they can hold the line on weight. I think the 1LE was the track target.
I also think when the next gen Camaro comes out both the Camaro and Mustang will be very close in all areas of performance, weight, and price. So all we have to do is pick the one with the best taillights.
