Looking at the sheet offered here and the order sheet for the new 2011 shows that the Brembos, and the gearing options are only avalible for the manual cars. Gears are for the coupes only. The wheels and tires show a 19x9 if you get the optional brake upgrade, 18x8 if not. The upgraded wheels and tires are summer options, probably the same as the Brembos, straight from the GT500. The gearing between the two autos are not a big difference, but there is a pretty good one on the two manuals. My estimate for the increase of weight for the optional brakes and wheels is going to be around 50lbs. Not much of a overall weight gain, but a rotational weight gain. The SS has the same problem with the rotaional weight of rims and tires. With the 255 summer options, and the 3.75 gearing the new GT will have the same problem hooking up as the GT500. They are going to need bigger shoes.
