2015 Corvette Z06 Order Guide Leaks Out

Thanks to the team at Corvette Blogger we finally get a look at the full order guide for the all-new Corvette Z06, well everything but the price that is. As they note one of the most interesting specifications on the new super vette is it's surprising curb weight, which comes in at 3,524 lbs for the Coupe, and 3,582 lbs. for the drop-top.

Considering the 2013 Corvette Z06′s curb weight was 3,175 lbs, and 3,333 lbs. for the old ZR1, we are left scratching our heads a bit considering the 2015 Z06's use of a new aluminum frame structure.

Despite the added pounds, we wouldn't kick Big Nasty out of our garage and with 650hp under the front hood, we'll probably never notice the increased curb weight anyway!

3500+ Lbs!! WTH....Its the same weight as an F458, a M3/M4, and LP560 SL. That's a Porker.

Give me a 3000 lb car with 450 HP ANYDAY!!

 

Getting HP to the ground is the problem. Cars need to get lighter to get better performance. Usable performance say under triple digits, minimal difference between a veyron and a 911 turbo s.

Bring on the era of sub 3000 lb sports cars!
