they should' offer the ZL1 without anything except AC & a Stereo. cutout alot of the sound deadening/damping material, etc. let everything be an option outside of the powertrain. Probably cut 5-7k from the price and a few hundred pounds lighter. you could have either a stripped down almost factory hot rod or a loaded up near luxury one.

my friend who owns a performance shop here in Toms River is ordering one as soon as the dealer can (dealer says October and production will begin in march '12). Dealer's rep has been following the progreaaion closely and says they (GM) wanted to keep it around 47k but found it impossible due to the magnetic ride control. it'll probably be around $52k, according to him.

That would be cool...but they wont do it for production cost reasons.

The less options the more streamlined and efficient the build process is. The ZL-1 will likely come with everything the 2SS offers plus a couple extra exclusive options would be my guess.

They did say they worked on mass reduction. The only concrete thing we know of so far is 22lbs lighter for the wheels and a large portion of the hood is carbon. They added quite a bit of weight with the supercharger and the iron differential though. That is probably 200lbs right their. My guess is the car will be right around 4k pounds. (guessing by looking at the SS manual at 3860)
