If the new 6th gen is on the AtS platform then why won't it be over 200lbs lighter? For one thing I don't see the same interior quality and options being in the Camaro. Which means it could be even lighter. Look at it this way. A 2011 CTS v6 is almost 4100lbs. That car is on the same chassis as the current 5th gen Camaro. If a ATS v6 is 3450 lbs then why can't a Camaro on the same Chassis be the same weight with the V8 model being around 150lbs more. GM really has a chance to move ahead of everyone in the same market if they build it on the ATS chassis. Now if they build it on the CTS chassis then it might not lose any weight.
