For reference my 98 z28 m6 was a hard top stripper crank windows and all. It weighed 3297 with 1/3 tank of gas when I had it weighed at the place that dyno tuned it. (EPP-exotic performance plus which I think is out of business now) Only weight reduction I had done was removed spare and jack and obviously aftermarket exhaust usually saves weight.
So the curb weight (full tank and spare original everything) on a 98 m6 would be in the 3400lb range...and that was a no option car.
I was just surprised at how similar the power and weight looked compared to a 4th gen so I couldn't help but mention it...
Mod for mod you can forget it though....cammed ls1 and your gonna need fi with that v6. Even though it didn't make quite the power my 10 ss did...I swear my h/c 98 would have run neck and neck with it. It actually felt faster if I had to guess...

Not sure if it was the visibility or the weight of a combination of both, but my buddy's 02SS auto felt light years faster in acceleration than my 1LE. Could have been me being younger but that's a butt dyno that made a lasting impression on me.
I would love to add a sixth gen V6 as a daily driver. I hope hyper blue is available in a couple years or I'll be looking used. Love the color that much.
