Re: curb weight = 3179 link within (2000Firehawk)
Thanks for the heads-up!
Here's the direct link: http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/C6...ecs/index.html
This confirms that it's taller and narrower than the C5.

Even better than the number I had posted.
Looks like I'm vindicated...again.
Lesson for certain individuals: Don't trust a magazine and "est." really does mean "estimated."

Well 2% ain't much, but its better than nothing.
I was hoping the coupe would end up weighing the same as the C5 Z06 but at least its under 3200 lbs.
Should be interesting to see if the C6 Z06 can break 3000 lbs. Quite a few people were hoping for 2900 lbs but with the coupe weighing in heavier than many expected I don't think it will be possible.
Here's to hoping that GM proves me wrong.

Re: curb weight = 3179 link within (TheDarkKnight)
OK...this is 3,179 number is GREAT news. As for the Z51, I am guessing 3,200. But with M12 clusters, it will run damn close to the Z. Awesome.
