Very few car models have such a range of powertrains and performance!

But I'll bet your G8 didn't have 650hp!!

Getting this car lighter is impossible without moving to some serious usage of Carbon Fiber or Aluminum in the frame structure. And at that point you're talking serious $$$

Find another 2+2 coupe with 650hp...and I'll bet you won't find one weighing much different, or if you do....it'll be 2x, 3x the price


EDIT: I am also curious why the automatic seems to weigh "less" in convertibles. Hmmm...
