Z06 vs Convertible weight
I have been hearing that there is a big difference the weight of a C5 convertible, and a C5 Z06 is much different. What is the difference? I have been looking online, and am seeing only about a 93lb difference. Is that correct?

Being I have an '01 Z06 I went to the Corvette Action Center website for answers
The '01 Y07 Coupe weighs 3214 Lbs
The '01 Y37 Z06 weighs 3115 "
The '01 Y67 Convertible weighs 3110 Lbs
Thats what it says...............

Wow, I cannot beleive that is it. It is nothing at all to talk about. I was just thinking about all of the options that they did not include in the Z06 (or were not available). You would think it is not a big deal for only 100lbs. I know it is for performance, and some cost, but I expected a lot more difference in weight. Between the tire sensors, and the front, and back glass, that probbably is half of it. Thanks for the answers though, I was really curious.

This information is incorrect.
'vert should read 3210.

Jolitaly, I was thinking the SAME thing. I was next to a coupe, 2003 same as mine, and the weight was not much different on the door stickers. I was under the inpression there was like a 500lb + difference between the 2. THis is nothing against the cars, I LOVE mine to death. Just was wondering why the lack of options if the weight difference is minimal....I know it is a performance vehicle....Again, I was just curious....

Vehicle weight is not listed on cars. You have to weigh them. The 3400 is with passengers. I had my car at the track last Friday and with me it was 3279 and I am right at 180. The 01 Z06 weighs 3100 give or take a few. The guy who was 3096 a few posts up has headers which will save a few pounds....

The sticker on the door is not it's actual weight. That sticker is the GVW (Gross vehicle weight). That is the maximum allowable total weight of a road loaded vehicle , including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers and cargo. If your towing with it, then you would include whatever your towing.

OK if you don't like that source...........
Ok , if you don't like the Corvette Action Center as a source then what about idavette.com which quotes C5 curb weight as : Curb weight being the total weight of the car with standard equipment , all consumables (coolant, motor oil), full tank of fuel , no people.
C5 Z06 as 3115
C5 coupe as 3246
C5 'vert as 3248
Not suprising is that the definition of curb weight varies within goverment agencies and various other organizations.
