I agree. I don't see why 3,650 lbs for the coupe would be far off. I mean, with all of the emphasis that has been placed on weight, you have to think that they are gunning for the 3,600 lb mark. If they are indeed just guessing and 3,650 lbs is their guess, then I would say that is a fairly feasible guess.
The LS2 is 6.0L.

They could've found the truth in 5 seconds of reading the GM Press Release.

Got my issue last night...
But how the heck did you guys miss this part?
3,750 pounds (estimated)
... GM insiders have blabbed to HOT ROD the range of potential powertrain options for the new Chevy ponycar. There will be two V-6 choices and at least three V-8s, including a 550hp version of the supercharged 6.2L V-8 for a high-content Z28 model. Sources indicate there will be two base V-8s, one stick and one automatic, both of them over 400hp.

Probably an editing mistake on their part. Most people aren't that **** about little things like 6.0l versus 6.2l.
But I still wouldn't put any stock in that weight number. We won't really know until an independent source weighs one on a scale. My WAG is still 3800 for a V8 coupe.
