It's the quickest vette on the track. The big brake kit, the selective magnetic suspension, wide body stance and the carbon fiber aerodynamic kit really keeps this car planted.

2008 Z06 @ 3160
2009 Z06 @ 3175

2013 Z06 @ 3175
Also, another member that has a Z07 has a weight that is only 15 pounds more then my 09 Z06.
Maybe owners of each year will post their trim level/options and the GVWR(located on driver's door) minus their max load(located on drivers door jam) and we can see the actual difference in the Z06's weight, year to year.
My 2009 2LZ, NAV, Chromes has a GVWR of 3651-max load of 423 = 3228 lbs.

Best year of the Z06? I'm going with the 09's and newer with the dry sump oil system. Actually, 2009's and the 2013's as those are what i own!

it's definitely subjective but i think the 09 would be. my reasoning: has all the 08 updates plus bluetooth. some might say the newer ones with launch control but i don't see that as such a big deal. second best is a late 08 cause it has all the mechanical updates but no bluetooth. this being said there really is no "BAD" z06....

Of course since I own a 12 Z07 I think it is the best . I owned an 06 Z06 and my 2012 is a step or 2 above.I like the seats better and the suspension is waaaay better.With PTM it makes an average driver into a Tommy Milner.I really like the wheels on the 2011 Z07,but I like the wheels on the 12's even better,and they are lighter.Also having PSC tires right from the factory only on the 2012.

My car is an 06 2LZ and weighed 3,130 (just as the attached chart stated) on the same exact scale that now shows it weighing 3,080. after losing weight through attrition of just swapping factory parts out for performance parts.

I'm asking what the GVWR is. That number is on the sticker on the drivers door. The max load is on the sticker located on the driver's door jam.

Why? wouldn't the GVWR be the same for a 1, 2 or 3LZ?
The difference between ours is probably how much gas and washer fluid in our tanks.
