Most of us are still just trying to figure out why you're determining the weight of a camaro using a cars weight that's 70% different than it.
GM said 200 lbs lighter OR MORE, depending on model.
Not up to 200 lbs depending on model. If you don't care to believe it then that's cool. Wait...
Say it with me. "200 lbs lighter".
The weight difference between the two cars will be negligible now. Ford gained, chevy lost.
Quite likely the camaro wins this round. The LT1/A8 is a very stout package in the C7.
Don't worry. Ford will counter.
Cool story man. Maybe if you do 50% more googling, x it by the weight of the 6th gen and divide it by PI, you'll get some more cool stories.
Then you can preach these cool stories across the Internet as if they're fact.
Then when the real info comes out, keep trying to convince everyone...
What did they say, around 70% of the car is camaro alpha specific?
You can't just take the weight of the ATSV, X it by RPM and divide by 5252 to get the weight of the 6th gen.
You want to know what the weight of the 6th gen is? You'll either have to wait and weight one, or take GM's "over 200...
would better tires help the GTPP much? it seems to be pretty loose as it was on the track. I wonder if stickier tires would just make the body roll worse.
you could be right. GM has just said that the Camaro will be on the smaller alpha platform. and the current ATS is a fair bit lighter than the S550. but they also never came out and said that the 6th gen will be lighter than the S550.
for interest sake I think the 4 cylinder ATS is around 3360...
looks like the 6th gen camaro is set to lose both size and weight :(
