Though the new car is said to be more than 200 pounds lighter, that's a blanket number that applies to the entire Camaro range. The V6 model is actually about 300 pounds lighter, and that difference is apparent in our back-to-back drives. After all, the 335-horsepower six-cylinder has only 12 more ponies than last year's V6, but it feels much stronger and more capable. |
If true...that is freaking amazing in my opinion. Even if its just 250 pounds, that could still put the V6 under 3,500 pounds. LOVE IT.
Here is something to think about
: 250 pounds off the base V6 5th gen (3,719 lbs) puts you at 3,469 lbs. Shouldn't be too difficult to get 350 HP out of the 335HP stock LGX with a few bolt ons or a tune.
So...compared to the current L99 SS:
3,910 lbs / 400HP = 9.775 lbs per HP
3,469 lbs / 350P = 9.9 lbs per HP.
I like those stats.
