It is also slightly lighter than a 13B with the twin turbos and piping from the RX-7. The current 3.6L V-6 in the Camaro weighs 370 lbs. Now add twin turbos, intercooler, piping, etc and it will weigh more than the V-8.
I agree bro! the TT V6 will pretty much gunna weight like the V8 or probably little heavier.

What's the point of changing the V8's to V6??? to gain more mileage??? but if the V6 has a TT its pretty much gunna have the same mileage with the V8's maybe even lesser mileage than the V8's gets.

anybody agree??
