Only 99lbs lighter
Lots of people are gonna be disappointed.
|
What? Do you realize how difficult it is to shave that much weight out of a car?
|
Better than 99lbs heavier.
|
:iagree: Not great.
But to be fair, it says the body materials also reduce by another 37lbs. But 99lbs + 37lbs = 136lbs ~ not the huge savings that some were hoping for. |
Wait, so we already have a final curb weight? Not just an estimate?
Do we have an exact power output figure, too? |
450/450 and 3100-3200 lbs? Should move pretty well.

They said exactly 99 lbs lighter.
without a doubt it will drive better than a C6! i had a C5 before and the C6 drove wayyyy better in the steering feel!! |
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. :thumbs:

99lbs is significant for a car that is already light, plus with the added low end hp, it's gonna haul ass.

I heard it was the frame. |
The FRAME is 99 lbs lighter.
|
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... |
Taking 99 pounds out of the body structure while making it 57% stiffer is nothing to sneeze at. Let's not forget, the top still comes off.
