C6 Corvette ZR1 & Z06General info about GM’s Corvette Supercar, LS9 Corvette Technical Info, Performance Upgrades, Suspension Setup for Street or Track
2008 2LZ with C6 rear brakes, passenger seat and front sway bar removed, custom axle back, coupled with a weld drag pack. I think I'm far from 2800 lbs...
I have a 2008 3LZ and I weighed in at 3015 without me in it. Passenger seat was out, still had on the stock front wheels with 275 nitto invos and C5Z front wheels in the rear wirh 315/35/17 Hoosier DRs. Had about 1/8th of a tank of fuel in the car. Everything else was untouched. My guess is you're in the 29XX lb range.

I'm not questioning the person, but I think there are undisclosed details of the setup that are pretty important.
144MPH on motor and picking up 32MPH on the back half NA is pretty impressive for 560-600rwhp close to stock weight without gears without race gas with stock heads and stock compression. I'm not saying it can't be done but I'm all about transparency.
A negative DA and a tail wind are only good for so much.

Hey you're car is lighter than LS7BUD at 3049 with sway bar off, lightweight dragpack and c6 rear end brakes .

Boy, you have some trouble for reading ..... Why you do not read carefully my submission .....I never say that I'm stock gearing ....and I never says that I'm at 560 rwhp......
Drag pack, front sway bar, c6 rear brakes and passenger seat removed are at least good for 140 lbs or so. plus lighter cat back about 25 lbs less. Also headers kit are also lighter than stock manifold and clutch is lighter than stock. This is far from stock weight at about 200 lbs weight reduction than the 3168 lbs stock listed 2008 weight.
My friends Gary Hillen have done many time 138.8 mp/h on a completly stock internal engine. You don't bet a better efficient cammed engine can't do 144+ mp/h on a well prep car ?

It makes sense cause this my weight number is from when I had B&B fusion catback on my car and it's heavy.. The new burns stainless is 30lbs lighter so that would put me at 3017 but I have my passenger seat in and Ioutrun doesn't on this scale...
Back half numbers can be very misleading. If a shift occurs in the 1/8 mile traps, the back half numbers will be artificially inflated. Just something to ponder.
A well driven efficient cammed C6Z which is not stripped to the bone is fully capable of 144 mph trap speeds especially on DRs. Many would like to believe that certain vehicles are "potato chip" light. It may be for some but not necessarily for all. There is a great deal of science behind some builds that justifies the results.
