Yeah, that means me and my track pack we sit at 3960 all day, whilst other - more "endowed" - should I say members, will sit at over 4000 on the track ??
It's also not about just weight, but where that weight is. The wheels are big for the R and take away weight in the right place. The radio weight is in the center of the car and not as big of a deal.
I was thinking the same thing about the rear brakes. I suppose, being front heavy, this helps with the CG, but hurts the polar moment of inertia.
I guess it's a lot easier to take out a radio. That was the gist of it. Another member mentioned potential resale down the road.
It really is sad. My C5 Z06 and C6 Z06 weight just over 3,100 pounds. I remember when they first released the weight of the C7 Z06 at over 3,500 pounds. I thought that car was a fat pig and would never corner well. Now here I am with a 3,700 pound GT350 that feels like it could have run with, if not out run, my old C6 Z06. I never would have thought that.
