Also, heavier wheels and tires. I'd look at the difference between a base C6 (3208) and a ZR1 (3333) to try and figure out where the C7Z is going to come in weight wise.
Ah right of course, good point on the blower adding weight. So if the weight difference between the C6 and ZR1 is +125 lbs, are folks predicting the C7Z will weigh in at 3,444 (c7 stingray) + 125 lbs, or 3569 lbs? That seems pretty high for a Z06 model, although maybe this is the new norm with the blower on the Z now.
