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.
I sold a 2012 Boss Laguna Seca to do this project,..... It was extremely capable and a much better platform (performance wise) than a ZN6, specially with some Kenny Brown parts thrown at it. I want something different. Like I said earlier,...I love Corvettes,....but they are a dime a dozen.
