Z51 rotors weigh 22.6 each front, 20lbs each rear
Baer rotors weigh 17.2 each front, 15.4 each rear.
I found super light ones that would give me close to what I want but WOW
are $$$$$$ RED DEVIL BRAKES Titanium 10.13 lbs each front 1400.00 plus!

I have DBA rotors. Two piece, aluminum hats. I can't tell you exactly what they'd save on the Z51 brakes, but they save 9 pounds each on the front for the stock GM 14" Z06 setup (Z51 are 13.4").
Rears won't save you that much because they use steel hats for the parking brake....
DBA 5000 series fronts slotted are $390 each. If you are trying to save the maximum amount of mass then this is the rate case I'd recommend a drilled and slotted rotor. They are $430 each. Again, if you were tracking I'd say no to those. But here it's about the maximum amount of weight loss and every hole is less mass to turn.

No... Though we do have a directionally vented set of front one-piece F-body front rotors (both LT1 and LS1) from Racing Brake.
