The thing that has to be remembered here is the 200lbs is the minimum loss. On the V6 and 4 cylinder, the weight loss is closer to 300lbs. Chevy was quoted as saying to Autoblog that the loss is closer to 300lbs on the V6.

Also, remember comparing a '16 1SS to a '16 GT is not going to be apples to apples. Lots of stuff that is on the 1SS is not on the GT without upgrades/packages.

Lastly, a lot of savings come from things like no spare tire and moves like that. So remember if you start loading up your car with options it's going to weighing a lot more.

That's how Ford got the curb weight of the 2015 only 87lbs on paper over the 2014, but in reality it was closer to 130lb increase. The 2014 had a 45lb spare and jack as part of base curb weight. The 2015 spare was replaced with a 5lb air compressor kit. If they kept the spare, the 2015 base would of been 3745lbs. GM can't do that with the Camaro as the gen 5 had no spare but compressor.
