Well that's a damn shame then... I wonder if a dealer would be willing to swap out the smaller wheels for me for no extra cost if I get the Z51. (In theory, I might be able to sell the larger wheels for as much or more than the smaller wheels would cost me, but that's extra hassle, and in the 2nd hand market, I might not make as much).

Hodgepodge of specs shown in that sheet.
Wheelbase is that of a C7, yet........
Look at the two widths. They show one at 72.6"(the actual width of the base C6) and the other at 75.9"(actual width of the C6 GS/Z06/ZR1). Both versions of the C7(base and Z51) have the same width of 73.9".
Same with the height. both that are shown are for the base C6(49") and the 48.7" for the GS/Z06/ZR). C7, both base and Z51, are shown as being 48.6" by GM. The specs released for the C7 show the height at 48.6"
Same with the length. They show one at 174.6" and the other at 175.6"(which are the lengths of the 2013 base C6 and the 2013 GS/Z06/ZR1), whereas the length of both versions of the C7 is 177".
Both weights shown in the list, are identical to the weights shown for the 2013 base C6 coupe(3208)and the 2013 GS coupe(3311) on GM's webpage.
Other than the wheelbase, all the specs show in the sheet you posted are for a C6, skinny body and wide body.

Well considering the Bugatti Veyron has an 8 litre, 16 cylinder engine with 4 turbos, 10 radiators and coolers plus all wheel drive the weight ain't bad. Plus it's the fastest, quickest production car you can buy and it only costs around $2 million give or take a few hundred K.

The Viper has weighed in at 3350+ in every test I've seen it in so far. Almost a dead ringer for the C6 ZR1.
