Default Anyone else weigh the C7 Z06?

Gm said the weight for the Z06 is 3524. It seems that figure is the heaviest possible. My 1 lz car weight was 3450 stock and after adding headers, cup wheels, and non runflats full of gas was 3390.
I ditched the non runflats and gained back 24 pounds.

So 3414 is my weight.

I wouldn't waste my time on anything but 4 corner scales.

3LZ A8 with 1/2 tank on my scales is 3534 lbs.

Absolutely stock.

My M7 car weighs less but the accuracy of the state weigh scales I use I have no idea but I have weighed on two different ones. They seem the same.
The 1lz is missing seats heaters and coolers and some adjustment motors.
The difference in the seat weights I'm not sure.
Also the weight of the sub woofer and box and amp.

Not sure of the rest of the differences.
Maybe more guys with weights will chime in!

I weighed my M7 C7 Z06 when at an HPDE at Daytona. My car is a 2LZ, and I took this picture when it had a full tank of gas:





This was on the NASCAR tech scales so it should be pretty accurate. Without the gas tank full of gas it would have weighed around 110 lbs less - i.e., with an empty tank it should weigh around 3440 lbs.

Real nice weight distribution!!

Thanks great we are now getting more numbers. Just need to be sure everything
is out of the car when weighing it. Even nonstock Lloyds mats or rear mat
anything added. Anything in cubby holes.
Easy to over look stuff.

This is more in line with what I'm seeing. Maybe the M7 car weights a little less?

The tank full of fuel helps as well. Curb weights are full of gas and oil.
If your short ten gallons gas which you don't know that would put your car at 3594 more than GM's listed weight.

Thanks for input! Lets get more weights!

This is good to know. I thought for sure the weight would be HIGHER than the advertised. Anyone weigh a Z07 3LZ M7 car? I'm curious to see what the carbon ceramic rotor weight difference does for the total weight.

Forgot when I weighed mine it had the optional floor mats and that giant rear mat in place.
Maybe an extra 5-6 lbs.

If I've done my math correctly, mine will be down to the 3490 range next spring.

Correct 3lz Z07 M7-competition seats- American racing headers, no cats, stock rear exhaust, LMR expansion tank probably adds about 20 lbs.

it's too bad Chevrolet doesn't offer the GS/Z06 in a Club Spec platform.

Basic car.

No A/C, power windows/seats, electronic do dads.

3150/3200 lbs.

My 1LZ weighs almost dead on 3500 lbs (only options are PDR and Competition seats) on my corner scales. She's a pig!
