I can promise you, that the 200lbs weight drop has zero to do with the 4 banger. In fact, I'd wager the weight difference between the 4 cylinder and the V6 won't be all that much different. Maybe 50lbs..
The CTS-V coupe was a Camaro chassis, motor, transmission, blah blah blah blah interior blah blah etc... They were and are the same car except for some designer looks and body panels. It was the same with the Firebird for years too....outside looks mostly werent the same...but underneath...they were...
The ATS coupe is the exact car to expect when the new Camaro debuts for the weights. I'll wager most of the specs will be very similar in fact... with the exception of the V8 model, as I expect that will be about 250lbs heavier than the 3450lbs of the ATS....which still puts us around 3700lbs.
The outgoing 2015 SS Camaro weighs 3900lbs....you're telling me there's no way GM can trim 200lbs from that car? Are you kidding me?
