Question So, the latest Hot Rod Magazine says....

...the 5th Gen Convertible will weigh in at an estimated 3,750#.......so that means the coupe might weigh around 100#+ less?

Probably just a major guess on their part though....

LOL............... Hot Rod magazine can't get the specs and info right on cars that they have in front of their faces. I would have serious doubts about their guess on anything that won't be here for another 1.5-2 years.

Did they give any reason or support for that number other than just a guestamate like all of us are capable of making?

I read once that Hot Rod's stories are written 3-6 months in advance of publication, so I'm guessing it was a blind stab.

Actually, they interviewed some GM people at the convertible unveiling in January...but why on earth is it labeled as the "May 2007" issue when I got it last week I don't know....I still think it was just an educated guess though.......

At least you got your copy. I received the May 2007 Car Craft on Saturday, but I'm still waiting for the May 2007 Hot Rod.
