Seeing how there are no actual performance numbers now, knowing the HP and weight is a huge indicator of possible performance.

Also we aren't splitting hairs with <50lbs of weight here. 200lbs is a major difference. Look how many times Al O. brings up the weight difference for the 6th gen. It is a big deal period.

I understand all this but if the GT350 comes in at 3700 lbs, yet still dominates the competition, is it still considered a failure because it didn't meet the lightweight expectations of the group? The goal is to get from point A to point B quicker than the other guy, whatever means you use within your budget to get there really doesn't matter, only that you did.
