"...when Chevrolet announces the official weight figures later this year, expect a slight INCREASE over the C6's 3208 pounds."

Regardless, simple weight figures dont mean much...it comes down to how its distributed. 3300 is still damn light for a modern sports car. With the torque curve of variable cam timing, this car will be a mover.
People need to learn to look beneath the surface. Peak hp numbers mean nothing, simple curb weight numbers dont tell the whole story, skinnier tires dont mean as much in the world of newly advanced compounds, etc. this car changes rules, and requires people to change their thinking. The performance numbers will speak for themselves. If it smokes everybody...who cares what those figures are vs any prior vette or compared to anything else. It all comes down to the performance facts....which we dont have yet...period.
