Sheesh if this gets any better sounding I may just have to look into getting a 6gen when mine is closer to paid off, unless there's a killer deal.

Hopefully the weight savings doesn't come by skimping on the interior.

At this point late in the process, You can take GM's word on the weight, the engineers are done with the car at this point (save minor adjustments on fit and finish or issues that arise in the validation and captured test fleet processes). My point is this...a Camaro weighing 200 pounds less is a reality. It may vary based on options, etc but we will have a significantly lighter car.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Wait until the car gets weighed by a third party. The Mustang fanboys got the rug pulled out from underneath them last year. Ford did indeed lower frame weight, but other changes added weight right back.
It does sound like Chevy is moving in the right direction, though. Fingers crossed. |

Agree, but so far it looks like weight was taken from other places.

I seriously doubt that. I expect the interior to be one of the biggests draws of the sixth gen.

Could also be 201 lbs! Im cautiously optimistic and happy with a 200lb loss. Anything more is just icing.

Agreed, 12.3 in 1/4 looking very likely.
