Actually, come to think of it, my comment applies to the SS, so the ZL-1 must be heavier, right? What's its weight at now?

Still pretty amazing. GM has really tuned the suspensions with the magnetic fluid.
I think they're going to come out with a Z28 version to compete with the Boss 302. It'll have the LS-7 engine in it (so about 500hp - because we all know the Corvette has to have the most HP), and lightend up quite a bit.

A lot of new cars weigh too much IMHO. The new M5 is 4,300lbs!

I love light weight cars. I've taken about 180lbs off my own car. With a 3/4 tank of gas, my car weighs 3,270lbs. Now all I need is about 75 - 100hp more and it'll be ideal.
