Unfortunately, I don't think it's published. Now if it was a pickup truck, then GM has weight calculators which take into account each option.

The 1LT Coupe is 3298 the GS 3LT is 3428 in essence 130Lbs more for the GS

There's quite a few more components/features contributing to the additional weight of a GS over a Stingray than just an interior trim package.

Over a 1LT Stingray, the GS 1LT’s 130 lbs buys: bigger heavier tires, bigger heavier wheels, bigger heavier brakes, bigger heavier sway bars, bigger heavier shocks, additional coolers & fluids for those coolers, heavier e-diff.

But comparing strictly 1LT to 3LT, basically we’re talking a couple of added gizmos on the seats, a memory module and switches, an extra speaker/sub, a few pieces of leather on the dash/doors and a HUD. I’d guess about 25-30 pounds.

That sounds about right.
It's an amount that is negligible from a performance POV (if that is what the OP was wondering).

OP is not asking about a Stingray vs GS comparison, just trim. Couldn't be more than 20 or 30 lbs. Certainly not worth worrying about.

Thanks guys. Yeh I was wondering weight differences between trim levels, but the info between GS and fhe Stingray is intersting. Thats a big difference.

I’m also into low weight cars. With airplanes empty weight is huge as the type certificate limits operations to a specific gross weight and options eat into that. My OCD with weight reduction applies to my plane and cars.

I was a very serious autoxer, plan to be again. Weight is the enemy and I am obsessed with it too, even in my truck and Volt
