As for the 5th gen lacking lowend, the 2000-2001 actually makes better torque down low and more hp thru out, but the added weight sucks out the performance. Especially in the lower mphs.

A 4th gen with a VI owns every model year, including the 2002

maybe not better high end power but you can feel the power after 5600 in everygear, my car slows down after 5800~, they make better power @ higher rpm.

Until July or so, then the tables might turn

You are right...Neals 95 GXE weighs in at ~ 2800 lbs vs ~3050 for a 97 SE.

96 GXE. Hopefully the weather will cooperate on Tuesday and the scales will be open at the track so we can figure out exactly how much this thing weighs.
