[Mr Kleen]

paint it purple with pink polka-dots and giant on the side if you want! I'd still drive it for as long as it's offered.

Gotta agree with you. I've really like the C6 and this one is just icing on the cake.

So what's a stocker weigh? Is that a big drop in lbs?

The Z06 officially weighs 3130 lb (1421 kg), giving it a power to weight ratio of 6.2 lb/hp (3.8 kg/kW or 361 bhp (269 kW) per tonne).

200lbs for the mild reduction, 300 LBS for the 'optimized' reduction. This thing has got to fly!

[snaab]

With this car, I do believe I've officially developed respect for the Corvette. I always knew it was a good set up, but couldn't get over their typical demographic. This kills that point though.


Official judgment: rockable.

[complacent]

opinion formed: boner worthy.

(or whatever the appropriate translation for those with "indoor plumbing" might be.)

Moist worthy?


To put this weight loss in perspective:

Porsche says the RS is 44 pounds lighter than the GT3, but we've measured the RS at 3,209 pounds, just 29 pounds lighter than the last GT3 we tested.

So thats what Porsche calls a weight loss, huh?

Fluids are my bet. Gasoline is pretty heavy!

[spazegun2213]

Well most of those ~40 lbs are off the drivetrain. The interior differences in the GT3/RS are VERY minimal. Those vettes have more CF weave than queen latifah!

Still, I'd rock both! To put vettes into perspective, mine with a full tank and me in it weighs 3380 yes, with a freaking jungle gym, my vette is 3200lbs... I'd love to see a GD subaru do that!
