I'm not sure which year you are talking about. I'm assuming that by
mention of V-8 and diesel available in the same car, you mean a more
modern diesel. Diesels are really meaty though. Much thicker castings.
I wouldn't be surprised if it were significantly heavier though. You
might be surprised what a few hundred pounds right over the front
wheels will do to handling. That lowered car with what is supposed to
be better handling might not have quite the handling you expect.
