Default C7 Z51 real vehicle weights

Anybody actually weigh their C7 yet (truck scale, scale at dragstrip, corner weight scales).....


Post up if you have weighed it, what options your car has, and how much gas in the tank (1/4, 1/2, full tank etc).

Thanks!

They've been weighed by the mags, it's not some secret. They've all been 3430-3450 that I've read.

If it says
Curb weight 3444lbs(mfr) or (mfr estimate)

then that's the info they were given.

The 3430-3450 is the curb weight of the vehicle, as weighed full of fluids.

It's only a secret to those who are lazy or have agendas.

I don't remember these magazines stating that they had actually weighed the cars but rather took the numbers from the manufacturer. I think it still needs to be done and reported here, at least as a confirmation, if nothing else.

Don't disagree that it'd be interesting info.

However, as I said only if it has "xxxxlbs(mfr)" is that what the company told them. Beyond that, I believe all 4 of those sources has specifically said thew weigh all their test cars in the past. I know for a fact motortrend does for all their's.

So every car had the exact same amount of fluids and fuel when they "weighed" them? Or did they all test the same car same day? The real deal will be someone posting a pic of a C7 on an actual SCALE.
