That's pretty good. I'm hoping the "at least" 200 lbs. represents the worst case scenario. I guess the worst case scenario would be the convertible.

It would be nice if the typical non-convertible versions received 220 - 250 lbs. of weight reduction.

 

good news

another problem is the current cars idiotic interior



i know the 6th will be better

 

I'm not sure I would call it idiotic. I would characterize the interior as more "generic" relative to the rest of the car. It really makes the interior stand out. In a very bad way.

But, I think we can all agree the interior does need to be updated and badly.

Refer to two posts I've left recently where one discuss more 6 gen spy shots at Pigeon Forge, TN and the other posts mentions the rumor the 6 gen interior is Corvette grade quality.

It does appear the interior is updated. Let's cross our fingers and hope it's for the better.
