IF however the Camaro maintains some size there may be negligible weight change. The SS sedan (Zeta) and CTS sedan (Alpha) are very similar in size and weigh the same (V8 vs TT V6).
This is probably true. Take the ATS V6 coupe weight, subtract weight of some luxury features, add in additional structural support for v8, add in the difference in weight of an LFX and an LT1 (about 120 lbs), and you will most likely have something pretty close to a 6th gen weight.
