Yes, the GS is around 100-200 pounds more then the the current line up of Vettes. I do like the GS tho, Im considering buying one in the future...unless a Z06 comes by my dealership for under 60 k... All depends.

Benefits of a z06 : lighter, unique engine, better looking stock wheels, aluminum frame, and race suspension.
Cons: no targa top, suspension IS NOT for everyday driving, and rarer parts for the LS7.

Benefits of a GS : Z06 look with shark gill sides, better breaks then standard, different Gear Ratios(according to GM), and z06 size wheels
Cons: Metal frame, heaviest corvette in the line, and same stock engine in all GM cars that feature ls3.
