I agree with DGthe3.
Cadillac probably does have more lightweight chassis components, but again also would have more features and maybe more sound deadening materials than a Camaro SS would get. In the end, my guess is another 50 - 100 lbs tops added to equal the SS weight compared to this.
Lets hope low 3,600 range is the weight of this car, as that would put the next Camaro under the Mustang, and the V6 and turbo 4 versions would only weigh 3,550 to 3,600 lbs.
