I keep on hearing people say they get the 1LT because it is lighter. Anybody know how much weight is actually saved by getting a 1LT as opposed to a 2LT.

Stingray Al

This perplexes me too. 10lbs?????????? seat cooler/heater, extra speakers, hud.

Not enough to matter.

Kind of makes you wonder why posters use that as one of the reasons they got a 1LT.

It depends on what you are using the car for. If you are planning to use it primarily
for some sort of organized competition (autocross, time trials, etc), timing is to .001 seconds and even 10 pounds might matter. I am inclined to think it would be more than that, but if you're just going to use it as a road car, then you'd have to be extremely sensitive to notice the difference.

At least not enough that laying off the Big Macs or beers for a month wouldn't compensate for...

In normal day to day use it's like 350 lbs when you consider that people who need seat coolers are fat.

Larry/car

No eating or drinking, remove all clothing, that should make up the difference.

LIStingray

I thought I read/heard it was around 30 lbs for 1LT-2LT and 60 lbs Base to Z51 - so a 1LT Base is about 90 lbs lighter than a 2LT Z51 - I don't think 3LT is any heavier than 2 LT.

For what it's worth:

1LT, M7, Z51, 3/4 tank, no NPP, no MRC = 3362

2LT, A6, Z51, 3/4 tank =......................... 3378

3LT, M7, Z51, 3/8 tank =.........................3389

exactly what I was thinking

This is a valid question. In the racing world, people who track their cars, this stuff matters. I have not seen the manufacturer's published data on this, but have seen data before on other makes of cars for the weights on trim levels and options.

Anyone run across this yet?

Higgs Boson

Chevy actually states, "1LT is for those wanting the lightest version of the Stingray."

Not sure if it is because of a significant difference of because they don't want to alienate the poor people.

GM web site lists 1lt 3298 and 2lt and 3lt

The problem with the scaled weights shown is the 3/4 tank of gas leaves guessing room.

Mine 1lt Z51 with comp seats was 3350 full of fuel.

Someone who tracks their car to a point where 10lbs makes a difference is going to have other mods to lighten up the car. Seriously does anyone really car about 10lbs for a dd or a weekend cruiser. Jeez!!

For the 1LT instead of the 2LT you've also got to add in the weight of the extra $4210 in your wallet.

For a track car probably none of the 2LT goodies would be useful. In fact a "0LT" model with cloth, non-power seats, no aircon, etc., etc would be ideal--sort of along the lines of the new Z28 Camaro.

Not necessarily the "poor people", but the people would rather keep ~$4000 in their pocket instead of dropping it for the ONE option they wanted out of 2LT (for me HUD). Same reason I didn't get a Z51. I don't go to any tracks, Sebring is a couple hundred miles from me. Maybe the drag strip once in a blue moon, but eh... don't need a Z51 for that.

If you think about it, the 1LT has almost everything the C6 2LT had in it, and same with the 2LT compared to the 3LT. The C7 1LT is a major improvement over the C6 1LT any way you slice it.

ChucksZ06

Never thought of that. Mine was ordered with 1lt just because I am cheap.

I'd sure like a version with Z/28 treatment:

radio delete
lightweight glass
carbon fiber shell seats
