So, the base C7 (3,298) picked up not quite 100 lbs. I'm hoping that they used some additional weight-saving techniques on the Z06 that they didn't use on the Stingray to keep the Z06 weight between the old Z06 and ZR1.
I guess we won't know until GM decides to tell us.

I'm not assuming anything. It's pretty obvious they would have to modify the chassis to handle the increases power and torque but they lose the major weight savings by already having an aluminum chassis.
