Default C8 Stingray vs Z06 vs E Ray curb weights

Does anyone have reliable info the proper measured curb weights of the C8 models?

Stingray Coupe vs Z06 Coupe vs E Ray coupe? preferably with z07 trim packages, if that matters in any significant way...

I know GM has played games with releasing info on these new models and their relative high curb weights in stock trim (issuing dry weights and so on to the press), but I would love know the facts if they are available.

Doing some rough math, fluids in these cars would be about 160-175 lbs for gasoline, coolant, oil and trans and brake fluid...

Thank you.

Stingrays are low 3500s, Z06s are mid 3600s and E-Rays are low 3900s. YMMMV with exact specification.

Technology comes at a price... those front motors and battery comes at a price.

Same deal when the GTRs came out... 3800+ lbs but, for the tech it offered they were actually light cars.

Also... you all want a car that is smooth, refined and has front lift suspension, Coil overs quadruple layered padding etc etc etc etc..... it all comes at a cost... The days of teh stripped out C5s is LONG gone because all you complained.... I still have my C5Z still, mind you with a heavier 8speed auto. LOL.

I wonder how much the trim levels weigh, like how much more weight does a 3LT add compared to a 1LT?

2024 1LT Z/51. 1/2 tank showing on the gauge.
Comp. seats are the only significant option.

Would be interesting if you could get a Z51 to near 3200. I would imagine with some bolt-ons the car would be near or pass stock Z06 performance.

​​​​​​3200 is definitely attainable and in straight line performance I've been 10.2 bolt ons in a non Z stingray.
