According to the Corvette Museum the curb weight on a 2001 coupe (A4) is 3214 #, convertible (Z4) is 3210 # and z06 (M6) is 3115 #

I think you will see several different weights depending if its "Dry" or "Curb" or model year and tranny. But they all should be close to the ones above.

Oh, I didn't notice this but unless you replaced the engine with an "Iron Block" - you have an aluminum block "LS1"

I weighed my 99 FRC with a full tank of gas and it was 3179lbs without me or anything else in it.

From this it would appear the FRC is a bit lighter than the Z06! Mine should be about the same as mine is a 2000 built late 99.

I believe the iron block adds about 70 lbs compared to an aluminum block, so you'd probably be looking at a curb weight of just under 3300 pounds for your car (on a full tank of gas).

advertised wts are a bit low.

coupe ~ 3450 lbs with 200 lbs of driver and some fuel

an iron block will ad close to 75 lbs, but more important move the wt distribution forward

so my need to ad 75lbs of ballast to the rear of the car for handling.
