Ah yes, the wheelbase is 113.4 vs 112.3 but overall length this year is 188.5 (previously 191) vs the Camaros 190.4, Track width is 61.8 fr/62.8 rr vs the 63.7 fr and rear of the Camaro. Overall width is 74.1 vs 75.5 but the Camaro has a 54.2 roofline (55.9 for the CTS-V. So where the Camaro gives an inch in the wheelbase, it takes it back in almost every other dimension.

Looking at the weight of the LSA, wet and ready to run will add 132lbs to the LS3s 418lb. Even extreme weight saving measures taken in the LS9 only saved 20lbs (529.9lbs). I'm not sure engineers want to open up an LSA to lightnen it. Both 6060 and 6L90 look to gain 30lbs depending on the dual clutch option/gearset in the 6M. The 6L90 is 31lbs heavier than 6L80 at 240lbs.

It wouldn't surprise me to see a 200lbs weight increase. Every auto that under goes FI gains 200lbs on average.
