The Canadian spec is 1,394 kg (3073 lbs) for the automatic and 1,384 kg (3051 lbs) for the 6 speed. The Canadian model is 163 lbs heavier. The Canadian model does come pretty well loaded up with everything as standard equipment such as premium sound system and foglights but to name a couple. The only options I had on my Lighting Yellow GT were the moonroof and NAV which I am getting. Perhaps this explains the heavier Canadian car.
Or... Did they beef up the suspension for us heavier overweight bigger North Americans?

I asked the same question (SP versus GT). No concrete answers, but it le dto an interesting discussion:
GT vs SP
I suspect that the weight difference is about 120 Lbs, like Rotary Soul suggested.
