Default What is the weight of a C5 or Z06?

Anyone know what the race weight of a Z06 or C5 is with skinnies and slicks?

I would guess around 3350 for a coupe, maybe 3300 or less for a Z.

According to GM's website the Z06 is 3118lbs and the Coupe is 3340lbs if I remember correctly. This is curb weight.. I keep hearing some of the vette guys saying their cars are 3550lbs race weights.. They must weigh 280lbs like me or something.. With skinneys and slicks they should be less..

I know of a couple LS1 hardtops and a Z06, their race weights are around 3250-3300 pounds with slicks/skinnies, a targa/coupe would be a little bit more.
