The C6 Z06 only has a curb weight of 3130 lbs (about 300 some lbs more than the BRZ/FRS), but much better setup for a high HP motor, and can fit a nice 315 size rear tire out back.
if the purpose was to own a car, that would probably be the smarter way to go. i think anyone considering a swap's idea is to build a car, like a project. it's about the project, not owning the result of it.
