For a C5, curb weight of about 3,208-3,240 pounds with an LS1 V8.

Varies a little with the year.

Empty tank, I'd guess around 3050 to 3100.

Mine has weighed as little as 3090 and its a coupe.

C5 chassis was designed as a convertible. It weighs less than a Coupe because it doesnt have the back glass. Also Corvette's do not have a power retractable top, which saves a lot of weight over an f-body.
