Default heavy corvettes?

Anyone have a comparative list on what corvettes weigh each year? Just wondering who the heavy weights are.

I don't think there is much difference other than iron head big blocks with AC weigh the most and aluminum head small blocks weigh the least. They're all around 3500lb+.

1981 Base model without glass t-tops or aluminum wheels.

Shipping weight from factory with 1/4 tank = 3179 lbs.
Curb weight full fluids = 3307 lbs.

The above website lists most of the weights and also tells you what year was the slowest in the C3.

1975:
This was one of the slowest Corvettes ever made. Even with the L-82 option it took almost 8 seconds to get to 60mph. Quarter mile came in at 16.1 seconds and top speed was 129mph :U
