I challenge you to take 200 lbs out of your car, increase performance, safety comfort and good looks, and spend $1000.

I thought that too until this article was brought to my attention. They are claiming the V6 only lost 100lbs which calls into question all the other figures as well. They directly interviewed Al O in the story too. I really hope it's a misquote, typo or something else.

200+lbs less weight on a performance car is a big deal.

Trust me I called him out twice on it and when I read the article was shocked. I've been waiting for this car as I passed at the last minute on a '14 ZL1. Everything I've seen and heard has been minimum 200lbs per model. I assume the article was a misqoute but the pill popper didn't write it unfortunately.

GM has said it multiple ways to try and clear up any confusion but the Mustang boys seem to be very sour and trying to rain on Chevys parade. Even when Chevy releases the numbers some will still try and twist it.
But a fully loaded 2ss will probably not be 200lbs lighter than a base 2ss from last year. Options like heated and cooled seats, sunroof and such do add weight. |

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I doubt heated and cooled seats and a heated steering wheel is going be enough weight to offset the fact the car is in a lighter platform and engineers strived for as much weight saving as possible. If a 2ss 5gen and 2ss 6 gen are compared I'm confident it will be a 200+ pound loss, the only people that would like you to think otherwise are the mustang fanboys whose last string of hope is that the 6gen is heavier than the mustang.

If that's what your saying I agree... Is heated steering wheel and heated/ cooled seats standard on 2ss? If so that won't add shit for weight anyways. Do you know if it's standard can't recall? And if it's not why is anyone even talking about it... Won't effect the 200 lb claim base to base.... Smoke and mirrors... I would be surprised my nearly loaded 14 Silverado didn't have heated and cooled seats and steering wheel standard and it was about ~46 k. Heated yes...cooled was an additional 500... I passed lol |

I think we are saying the same thing, that a 15 and a 16 with the same options will be a minimum of 200lbs apart.

Are heated and cooled seats and heated steering wheel standard on 2ss? If so I'm very impressed...
