Unit,
Even better. Better durability.

My car weighs 3,640lbs with a full tank of gas. 400lbs too much IMO.

isn't the shelby that's going around right now pretty much a completely one-off car? it's similar to what's going into production but with quite a few details (such as funtional hood scoops) that won't make it, and other things that may change the weight/driving characteristics one way or the other, at least from what i've gathered......i may be wrong.......

The one we're seeing is the concept, altho the production model is only supposed to differ in minor details, if any. Functional hood scoops might be one thing, as well as diff wheels, or some emblem moving etc. But ultimatley, what we're seeing is what we're going to get.

I was hearing that it's in the neighborhood of 3800 pounds, don't know if that's dry or weight. On a side note can anybody confirm the $75000 price tag on the zo6, i've been curious to see what it's going to run.
