Carbon Fiber? Windows? Wheels? Driveshaft? Axles?
Look at it this way. The LT-1 is supposed to weigh about 20 lbs more than the LS3 in the base C6. The LT-4 is supposed to weigh the same as the LS9, which was ~110 lbs more than the LS3. So, just adding the LT-4 to the Stingray would make the weight go up to 3408. Of course that is not all the weight that would have to be added, but they did something on the C6 Z06 and ZR1 to not just give it more power and a better suspension, they did something to reduce weight as well...ESPECIALLY on the Z06. Do you not think they are going to use every trick they can to keep the weight as low as possible? Are they going to give the C7 Z06 more power than the C6 ZR1, then negate that by making it weight more than a C6 ZR1???
So, let me throw it back at you. Where is all the extra weight to make it over 3400 coming from?
