Anything weighing under about 700 lbs/liter of engine displacement has enough performance for many buyers. Maybe even most. Just for reference, 4000 lbs and 6.2 liters is down at about 650 lbs/liter (I'm thinking only NA here)

If the next gen could come in at or under 3500#, a 5.3L engine would be just about right power-wise for all those buyers. GM cut about 500 lbs out of their car lines 35 years ago, so it wouldn't be the first time.
