For the record: I'm not saying it'll be ugly or not a top performer, but in it's history, 1st through 3rd gens were clean sheet designs that set trends. I don't think this will follow in those footsteps. Design-wise. Performance, however, will be unmatched. Although I honestly don't think shedding 200lbs is enough to crow about, so let's hope it's more.
Losing 200lbs on my SS still leaves it at 4k, so if this SS comes in around 3500, I will be very happy.

Again...we've all been VERY aware that this car was supposed to be an evolution of the 5th gen. No surprises here.
Also....what have you done to your SS to add somewhere in the neighborhood of 300+ pounds to it? A brand new, base SS weighs just a hair over 3,900. 4,200 might be counting full fuel and you inside maybe....but that's now how cars are weighed.
3,500 lbs is a fantasy. I would expect 3,700 to 3,750...under 3,800 at worst....and again that's not with you sitting in it.
