It's listed as 3179 (without driver) but I think that can vary by as much 50 pounds depending on options and such.

Mine was 3,388 with a little bit of gas and me 187. I'd say a hair under 3,200

How much heavier is the A6? Probably at least another 60 pounds.

My '05 Z51 6spd coupe with all options and a 1/4 tank of gas weighed 3251# with some tools and manuals in the back when I corner weighted it 11 months ago. Probably 3200# w/no gas or extras.

The Corvette Black Book and the Corvette Museum both say the C6 coupe weighs 3179 lbs. The conv weighs 3199 lbs and the C6 Z06 weighs 3130 lbs.

I wonder how accurate those truck scales are along the highway. I pulled in once in another car and they were happy to weigh me.

I don't see how GM can give a specific weight without listing options. The Z51 package has to add a few pounds, Nav. and On Star a few more, upgraded sound a few more (speakers), power seat a few more, etc.

3251# actual weight on the scale.
- 40# 6+ gallons of gas.
- 5# for tools and books.
_____
3206# Total weight with all fluids except gas for my C6,Z51 6spd with all options.
