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.

Well I guess I should have specified the weight fully loaded as you mentioned, full tank and me. Empty it's still 3900 and change.
And while we're all VERY aware of the evolution direction of this design, my point is, I think it's a mistake. I've watched GM butcher great designs in the past decades to play it safe, and that's exactly how this feels like it's going. Playing it safe.
That said however, I still respect Ed Welburn's passion for design, so I might change my mind come Saturday.
