they reduce the weight ~200 pounds for 2016. I might test drive/buy one.

3685 lbs in base form to be exact with the availability of magneride suspension. Chevy really upped their game this go around. I'm glad since this forces Ford and Dodge to respond with something better in the coming years. Competition is good.
The LT1 is a nice motor but direct injection scares me down the road when the back of the intake valves gunk up with carbon buildup due to not being sprayed with fuel as in a port injection setup. In other words, the engine will lose power as mileage adds up. I'm also not a fan of the characteristics of a push-rod motor. It's a torque monster down low due to its big cubes (6.2L) but falls on its face at higher RPMs. DOHC engines make me giddy being able to rev them to 7500+ RPMs with a linear power band.
