I thought I'd seen curb weight as 33xx on one of the YouTube reveals

I agree. Plus with the C7 Z51 you are paying for dry sump. Now it's standard.

Ah yes, because the part where it's got lower drag will definitely hurt it at higher speed. Good point.

The Z06 has never been a good drag car *because of all the downforce.*

The base car, when tuned to the power of the track-focused cars, has ALWAYS destroyed them in a straight line.

This base variant should be a good performer.

The next couple variants will be an absolute hoot.

You are incorrect. I was there last night and what was said is that the base price of the C8 will be under 60K,and in another statement what was said by Tadge is that the Z51 equipped C8 will hit 60 in under 3 seconds. The Z51 equipped C8 will be over 60K.
