Didn't say anything about the Z/28 beating lighter cars, but weight reduction was a primary design consideration in developing it just limited by the platform at the time. So you can't say people concerned about how much the GT350 weights is not a big deal. Seeing how there are no actual performance numbers now, knowing the HP and weight is a huge indicator of possible performance.
Also we aren't splitting hairs with <50lbs of weight here. 200lbs is a major difference. Look how many times Al O. brings up the weight difference for the 6th gen. It is a big deal period.
