To my eyes, the 6th gen looks higher in the back than the 5th gen at the bottom of the rear rocker to the ground. Then, I found out that the stock tires are 1" lower in height than the stock 5th gen tires. That would account for the 1" reduction in overall height. I think GM did this clever trick to make the all important dimension numbers smaller all around. Still, if you get this car and place it near a 3rd gen F-body or 1st gen, it looks huge. |

They've claimed over and over that v8 equipped Camaro has lost over 200 pounds and that held true. |

It's a small point, but just because it keeps being brought up... Assuming it's true that the tires are 1" smaller in diameter, this would only make the car 1/2" shorter in overall height. Only the part below the axle centerline, or the tire's radius, would effect the vehicle's height.

I really do not understand the premise of this thread. GM said the camaro was both getting smaller and weighing less. They achieved this. Ford made the claim that the mustang was going to lose about 200 lbs. The mustang gained weight. Bravo GM for doing what you said you would do!

I went from a 2010 1SS/RS to a 2016 2SS. It doesnt feel like 150-200 lbs. It feels more like 500-600!!!! Dont care much about the weight and size, but the performance #'s speak volumes on what GM accomplished with the design of this car!

No, they use 40 and 35 profile tires on the 6th gen, this does result in about a 1 inch difference in overall tire/wheel height vs last generation. Which is great!

My 16 fits in our garage much better than our 15 did. And why would it be that much faster in the 1/4 with only a measly 29HP and torque increase? This car is light years better than my 15. I still love the fifth gens, but I am very happy with the trade for a 16.

This thread is based on a fake premise by a troll. Make him go away by ignoring him. The thing I truly don't understand is why he puts forth the effort for a car he doesn't like. It is getting freudian.

1" shorter tire would only account for .5" of reduced ride height.
