2001ZO6Blck

Hey guys,

I just picked up a 2001 ZO6 and have a question. I noticed the gross weight of my Z to be 3551lbs and not the 3100lbs that seems to be the norm for C5 ZO6's. Is this accurate or does my car really weigh 3100lbs instead?

Sorry if its a dumb question. I'm just beginning to learn about these cars.

Cheers!

3100lbs is without you and your stuff in it. The GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is the maximum combined weight of the car and it's load which includes passengers.

Spot on. My 02 Z06 with 1/2 weighed 3080. The car had HRE wheels with some stuff in the trunk. Only about 20Lbs (if that) worth of crap in the trunk though.

My 01' with a half tank and me not in it weighs 3080lbs on the scale.

As mentioned above the GVWR is the total combined weight of the car + passengers + cargo. There was a story in the news a few years back about how cars like the Corvette weren't even rated to carry two full size men. I mean I'm 240lbs. Put two of me in the car and that's 480lbs. 3150 + 480 = 3630, then add in luggage and you're quite a bit over the GVWR and technically illegal.

Nice.

3158 00 FRC with crap in the trunk, 25lbs firebottle, big twin turbo kit, 250ft of wrap,...on the digital scales. Very happy with the weight of my car since it has full interior and options. That was with about 1/2 -3/4 tank of fuel.
