More on this. The ZL1 1LE weighs 3823lbs and is fully loaded. The GT350R 3670lbs bare bones with no back seat. So the weight difference is 153lbs. Then the zl1 carries 3 more gal of gas then the gt350, so that adds 20lbs. So in all reality the zl1 1le is only 133lbs heavier the the R. If you put the electric package on the R, now it's under 100lbs. GM did great for getting a FI engine in a fully loaded car to be within 100lbs of a NA GT350R with elec package.
