Cool! So a standard optioned LT1 will weigh what....somewhere in the high 3,500 to low 3,600 lb range? Pretty sure the standard 1SS with manual was coming in around 3,650 to 3,675 lbs.
How much of a weight advantage would that be compared to a base Mustang GT?

According to the above link, a 2020 LT1 Camaro would weigh 3,619 lbs. That would give it right around 100lbs less than the base GT. |
The base GT is 3,705 lbs, so 86 lbs. difference. Nice advantage for the LT1; I wish the GT was 100 lbs lighter than it is. Also - I'm surprised they gave the LT1 front 4-piston Brembos instead of non-branded brakes. Going with GM stock brakes and 19" wheels could have likely saved even more on the price. The LT1 sort of reminds of a modern version of the RS package of the early 90s, except this has the same engine whereas that car had a weaker V8 engine than the Z28.
