Default Package Weights

Hey Everybody!

I am new to this forum. I am hoping to purchase my first Vette soon, a brand new C6!

I have a question that I hope you all may have the answer too. I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

Does anyone know what each package adds to the weight of the C6 respectively? 1SA versus the 1SB?

Just thinking I want to get a 1SA with the Sport package but am debating the 1SB because of the better radio and the Heads Up Display. Every little bit of weight can make a difference though.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

The HUD may weigh a couple of pounds, but the cheesy Bose speakers are enough lighter to make up the difference. The Homelink may weigh 4 oz, but the perforated leather in the seats probably makes up for that. Etc. The only real extra weight in the 1SB would be the side airbags. I doubt they add 10 pounds.

My Coupe, Z51 6spd. with every option xcpt. the transparent top weighs 3218#'s. Thats total weight with all fluids full xcpt. I subtracted the weight of 3 gal. of fuel.

BTW; It's 50.7% of the weight on the front wheels regardless of whether I'm in or out of the car. Looks like if you moved the battery to the passenger side rear you would have 50/50 front to rear.
