ATS is within two inches of the same wheel base...so its close. You are right, in that if they add length, then weight will be added, but i have very HARD time believing that if they use Alpha, and even if they make the car with the same dimensions, that it will end up as heavy as Zeta.
Heck, the base CTS weighs a bit under 3,700 lbs, and its a bigger car than ATS. I'm pretty sure a CTS with all the goodies (but not the twin turbo V6) weighs between 3,800 to 3,900 lbs on Alpha. I can't see why GM would want to make Camaro on the same wheelbase as CTS, so surely the car would come in at a base weight of well under 3,700 lbs, which the current Camaro V6 does not do.
But if they go with ATS dimensions, i still think a 3,400 lb base weight (I'm talking base V6) is doable.
