Here's something to ponder. The upcoming Omega based CT6 is 8" longer and 53 pound lighter than the CTS. The CT6 and Camaro were developed concurrently. I wouldn't be surprised if Camaro has some of the CT6's mass control techniques, above and beyond what was used in the ATS and CTS.

The 8spd is close in weight to the A6.
Regardless, that 8spd auto is pathetic and has terrible lag when manually shifting compared to PDK. GM blatantly lied about the A8 competing with PDK. GM performance cars deserve a proper DCT, or at least the 7spd manual.
My 2016 Camaro will have the stickshift.

Premium light weight materials equals a premium price. Chevrolet has to worry about affordability where it's not really even a concern for Cadillac. As far as techniques, maybe they have learned a few things. We shall see. The heavier, more conservative weight estimates seem to be the safest bet.

That's interesting.

Good find

I hear you. Just saying that the Camaro may benefit from some mass savings above and beyond what we've seen on the the ATS and CTS.
