Default New Z06 is Heaviest Corvette Ever


Here’s a bit of information I’m sure will spark some interesting comments on the forum. It appears the new Z06 is going to come in as the heaviest Corvette ever at 3,524 lbs. for the coupe. Compare that with 3,175 lbs. for the 2013 Z06. That’s a difference of 349 lbs.

The new convertible Z06 weighs in at 3,582 lbs., according to Corvette Blogger who recently got their hands on a 2015 ordering guide for the Corvette, which includes everything but pricing.

Hot off the presses! Like two days and 4 threads ago.

There are now at least 4 threads about this. All near the top easy to see.

Great idea. In the same way that putting a fork in the microwave is also a great idea.

Just the ones that weight under 3500lbs. BTW, anyone have the inside line on what the curb weight will be and how it might compare to others in its class?

It's 3900 lbs unless you add the carbon fiber wing then it's 4500lbs and becomes a Chevy hellcat.

Default well
I love the light and lean feel of the C6Z. And now I bet we are looking at least $80,000 for shure. What a bargain !

A bit embarrassing for a CF editor to start a thread based on this false statement.
