Might a be a couple hundred pounds lighter, hard to say, the CTS-V is 4200 and 4300 (manual and auto), they say they changed the shift points and gears on the auto so that is should be about as fast as the manual, maybe GM will now only produce the LSA and use it in minor variations on the CTS-V, the Camaro, and the Z06, since the LS7 seems doomed in the long term for reasons of cost. Having all three at around 550 hp could save some dollars from the V8 development budget that got cut in the last round...Hopefully the "sacrifice" will be something like that, but having the new motor and only using it in the CTS-V makes no sense from a financial perspective since they were probably counting on volume from all 3 to get economies of scale, they get even more if they just pick up the LSA and drop it in more cars, similar to what happened to the LS3 and the Camaro...Not even Fbodfather's hairdresser may know the answer to that one yet...Yeah I know he claims he doesn't need a hairdresser after the last few years....
