Correct me if I am wrong, but the R/A Hood is fiberglass and most likely lighter than the regular OEM [non WS6] Hood...

Also, IIRC, the Z28 [w/o the RS bodykit] weighs less than the TA

Check out this link for weight and more info

The Ram Air hood is plastic (like the front fenders, nose, doors, roof, hatch, ground effects, and rear bumper) and the standard hood is steel (like the rear quarters).

Actually, the hood along with the doors, rear hatch/spoiler & sail panel (roof behind T-tops) I think it is called are glass.
The fenders, bumper covers & lower side G/E are plastic.
