2014 C7 Corvette to be 90 pounds lighter

Don't know if this has been posted but in this link it says the C7 will be 90 pounds lighter than past models. Will get 29 mpg highway.

"The C7 is one of 13 new Chevrolet products that will hit U.S. show rooms this year. Like many of the others, it arrives lighter than past models. Engineers said Sunday they had trimmed 90 pounds from the car, and used carbon fiber on even the base trim level."

"Pricing was not announced Sunday night, but it is expected the base model of the C7 will cost more than the $49,600 of the base C6 predecessor. Fuel economy is expected to reach 18 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway."
