Likely around 80Lbs. My friend's Vert was 3130. The Verts and FRCs weigh about the same with the FRC probably being just a tad heavier. Both my Z06s were with 10Lbs of each other and the lightest was 3070.

Curb weights:
Coupe - 3246 lbs
Z06 - 3116 lbs
Vert - 3207 lbs
These numbers were taken from the Corvette Black Book for various model year C5s. Seems like the weights varied a little bit between the years.

I though the vert was heavier than low 3100s. It has extra structural pieces added.

I know the scale is accurate because I weigh 150Lbs and stood on the scale and it showed 150Lbs. My friends also weighed themselves and it was accurate.
My first Z06 was 3080Lbs with 1/2 tank but it had HRE wheels. My current Z06 was totally stock other than the Vararam when we weighed it and it was 3070.
We don't have any stock coupes to weigh yet, but when we weighed my friends 98 with an A&A blower, it was 3320.
All of our cars are 6-speeds which is lighter than the autos. ALL FRC cars came with 6-speeds as well. So if you're comparing the FRC to a coupe, you need to take into consideration whether it's an auto or a manual.
