The LS9 seems kind of choked around redline for some reason and the throttle response just seems kind of off, but I have only driven the '10 model, they may have fixed that. The low end on that thing is freaking awesome though.
The LS9 and LSA are close to 100 lbs heavier than the LS3, I don't think it would be too different for their gen V equivalents. As for weight location, I was thinking more in terms of the supercharger & intercooler brick that have to sit on top of the engine.
