I corner weighted my 2000 M6 coupe and it was 3160 with a lil' under 1/4 tank of gas. And I agree you won't be able to tell the handling difference unless both cars were modded to the hilt and a professional driver was flogging both of them.

I have no weight reduction, car was bone stock with a VaraRam when I weighed it. Don't ask me to explain it. It was on our auto-cross corner weighter and everything else was weighing in what they were supposed to.
Most Coupes weigh about 3300# and FRCs or ZO6s weigh about 3150#. My 396 is not an heavier than a 346 but my exhast is a little lighter than the stock system.
For comparison sake my 2000 SS weighed 3440# about 120# heavier than my Vette. That is on par with most SSs I have seen. If his 2000 coupe weighed 3160 it is about the same as a FRC car.

i agree. i went to the track last night w/ under 1/4 tank of gas and the results were terrible. i was cutting 2.5s and 2.6s all night. i guess from now on ill be going to the track with over 1/2 tank of gas.
