So I was on the Chevrolet site checking to see if they had updated it yet to include info on the 2012's. Checking the specs between the different models of Vette's I noticed that GM has the base coupe listed at 3208 lbs and the Z06 at 3175 lbs. So the base is only 33lbs heavier than the Z06 ??? I thought there was a bigger weight difference than that.
Disclaimer: I'm not bashing the Z06 as I own one.

Oh ya, and those massive big beefy man-sized stabilizer bars on the Z06 weigh a ton compared to those pencil sized stabilizer bars on the base coupe!

Foremaw,
You are correct. The 2011 ZO6 comes in at 3175lbs. The GS Vert is at 3289Lbs. And the 2009 ZR1 at 3350lbs . . . there is that BIG engine.
What I recalled is that the GS vert is 22lbs less that the GS Coupe (not the ZO6).
