2001 C5 ZO6 , 3551lbs??
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!

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.
