They said the FRAME is 99 pounds lighter. They were clear to point this out several times. So who knows what the final value is. Remember it's been said that the LT1 is going to be heavier than the LS-3.

I pretty much called that one, it's VERY difficult (and costly) to shave weight in the modern era even with all of the new technology/materials out there.
I knew that hitting 2900 or even the low 3000 pound range was only a pipedream, but was still hoping for at least the 'high 3000' pound range.
Still awesome though.

People are hard of hearing...wtf!
They said FRAME is 99lbs lighter and they said 450hp ESTIMATED...
I imagine the engine hasn't undergone SAE certification yet...
