That's interesting. I wonder why they felt the need to have a cast iron rear end when the 5th gen SS had an aluminum rear end. The aluminum rear end would of had to be a good bit lighter and would of made the weight savings even better.
With that said, at least the weight is in the right spot. Down low and in the back.
