Weighed my 02 Z06 today.
Without me in it and 1/2 tank of gas it weighed 3080lbs. That is on a state certified scale. It rounds UP in 20lb increments. I'm happy with that number. What does your Z weigh?

I have saved at least 50 pounds with (1) no air pump, (2) no windshield washer fluid (3) Lg Pro headers w/o cats (4) other small changes.
I have similar mods & weigh abt the same. Pretty amazing for a relatively large car

Mine was 3168 with a full tank of gas, tools, flashlight, some extra oil and 8 jambalaya dinners (boy scouts taught me to be prepared). Add me to the mix and it went up to 3480.

I've got a buddy with a Suburu WRX. He was bragging about his approx 300 horse power with his little car compared to my big ZO6. Unfortunately for him, the WRX actually weighs more than the Z.
I think a lot of ricers think their cars are light; but, in reality IF they are lighter than the Z, it usually isn't by very much.

Sorry for off topic, but-
312Lbs. difference with you!? 
My goodness, you are a big boy drivin' that sportscar! (Maybe you had alot in your pockets.) My little brother (in age) has you beat I think. Three hundie and probly more than a dozen, at least, 6'4" and strong as an OX. He lives 2400 miles away but I'm trying to entice him to visit me by telling him he can drive my SCZ06 when he visits! I used to just kick his *** when we were kids, momma always said "watch out, he's going to be bigger than you some day...." He wupped me when he was ready....I'm ALWAYS nice to him now!

So I guess if I'm 140 fully dressed and soaking wet I don't have to mod to keep up with you guys. My HP to weight ratio is already good to go. But I guess if you're running a supercharger or turbo I'd have to dry off and ditch the clothes.

Mine was 3070 with 1/4 tank of gas and my stealthbox in the back (I think it weighs 20-25 lbs) I was impressed that it was under 3100
