Guess won't never be confirmed if new cadillac engine is a destroked 6.2L or an updated corvette DP LS9, but I don't expect a considerable weight loss by this swap.

Acura, nissan and cadillac should be in the same torque range now; with acura as the only brand fielded by the closest thing to an official work team (actually don't know if WTR will keep on being supported by GM and dallara like 2017 season.... AXR and SoD won't be for sure).
Is unlikely a cadillac domination like 3/4 of last season.
Do you know how much slower the cars would be if they were 50kg overweight? Cadillac wouldn't be winning anything if they were that heavy When they say overweight, it's more likely they don't have much leeway with ballast if at all. I have no idea why this figure of 40, 50kg etc. gets thrown around. Do you have a link? Does anyone have a link to this?
