2002 Z06 had a curb weight of 3118 lbs. Your 01 weighs in at a slender 3115 lbs.

I think the Z06 is only 40-50 lbs lighter than the normal C5.

My Z06 weighed 3080 with alil over a 1/4 tank of fuel.... Completely stock.

Most Targa C5s are in the 3200lb range, give or take alil.... From what Ive seen. Convertibles are alil more as well.

Per GM curb weights for 2002:

Coupe: 3246
Vert: 3248
Z06: 3118

I was surprised to see them the vert and coupe so close.

For comparison here are the 2008 curb weights:

Coupe: 3217
Vert: 3246
Z06: 3162

The z06 is getting a bit porky.

That is a big part, plus the Z has a thinner windshield and a few other little things.

Don't forget titanium exhaust saves a few pounds.

Don't we also lack some sound deadening insulation? I'm sure it's just a few pounds there. Mine weighed in at 3040 with about 1/8th tank of gas.

Weight differences is due to the following

Exhaust, Rear Windshield, lack of sound proofing, non-runflat tires, lighter rims, lighter roof panel.

I would assume auto to manual would cause some difference as well.
