That's not bad, considering some of the figures that were being tossed around before.

I'm planning on removing some unnecessary items (backseat, etc.), and replacing other parts (hood, etc.) with lighter weight aftermarket parts. I'd expect the weight of the car to dip into the 3700 lb. range, and possibly even into the high 3600 lb. range, depending on what's modified.

 

if your gonna mess with it like that, why don't you just buy a used C6?

 

Because I don't want a Corvette. I want a Camaro.

 

My wittle old 1st, 2nd and 3rd gens are going to whip somebodies expensive 5thgen
This is going to be fun.

 

It's not bad. I wished it had been a 200 lbs less as it's going to be over 2 tons with driver, me atleast.

I just worry a bit about the driveline and the stress of moving 4000's of weight with a very powerful LS3 driving those half-shafts.

 

nuting like ripping your seats out of a 35k$ vehicle !!!

Money...it makes you nutz

 

After a few broken half shafts, the live axle conversion should save some weight

 

It's a little bit big, but I think with that much power underneath it you'll forget pretty quickly about the weight! Definitely not the tank weights everybody was wailing about!

 

Truth be told, the rear seats would get very little use in my vehicle. I'd rather have no rear seats than unused rear seats, especially if it'll save some weight. I'm sure the aftermarket will come up with a cover if there's any sort of unsightly wiring or other parts left behind.

 

interesting to note, they trimmed a few lbs off the numbers compared to the ones provided to us at the focus group back in May....

 

And that's a good thing.

 

EXACLTY!!!

If I want to go to the track, I'm sure I can spend an afternoon removing some unnecessary stuff, just like you mentioned. I think this car has every bit of character as I think the C6 has, and it makes me so excited.

Great job GM. Now get me my Z28

 

trust me, you wont forget the weight. Everytime you race someone and they keep up pretty good, you'll be thinking of the weight. The power won't be enough for most on this board.

And this is EXACTLY the weight everybody was talking about.

 

Cobra owner ladies and gentlemen....!!!!!

 

Yeah. He owns a powerful but heavy car. Remind you of anything?

I'd listen. He probably knows what he's talking about (with regard to weight).
