Default Official Weight

Has the C7 Z51 weight been officially announced yet ? This seems to be a closely guarded secret.

Who cares, performance info is already out. Doesn't matter to me what it weighs, as long as it can move quick enough.

So you're saying that weight has no bearing in how quickly it can move?

Just a few posts down the list from this one. It's already on the 4th or 5th page of responses.

Logic must not be your forte

Of course weight has bearing on speed, but since we already know speed....the factor that effects it is irrelevant, because regardless of what the final weight is it won't change the performance numbers we already know.

So you think something is wrong with the 3.8 0-60 and 12.0 1/4 mile times that were presented?

Logic is definitely not my forte!

In actuality we don't know speed, we only know what Mero did. The mag tests will be where the real performance figures come in to play.

I'm guessing it'll probably come in at 3350lb all up maybe a little more. About the same as a C6GS.

The Z51 'vert should still be lighter than the C6 427 though...

I find it rather amusing that this far into the game, GM still has not released "official" weight or performance figures. Does anybody else think it is a bit strange ?

That's right! No official weight has been announced yet. Hmmm! Is something underhanded going on here. Maybe I should cancel my order?

I find it amusing that you haven't monitored this forum enough to know that all these specs you're requesting has already been revealed. MONTHS AGO !!! Get with it. This is all old news.

Sorry to give you the news but you forgot the word "official". Where is the car weight with Z51 ? Nothing more than conjecture. I am not suggesting conspiracy here but it is rather funny that nothing is on their corporate web site.

You should go back and watch the video. Maybe after 83 minutes you will understand what "estimated" means.
