Well I weighed my at the D.O.T. scales on the highway. It weighed 4000 when I got out and 4240 with me in it. Now I am 6'4"....lol. Not sure how it is else where but in Indiana after the employees leave the scales are left on so just pull on and see your weight. Just watch out because the trucks still come and weigh in too.

Another reason for the improved handling is probably because the front suspension of the ZL1 resembles a BMW E9X vehicle (since 2006)...except everything is bigger.

I was surprised that the factory exhaust is aluminized steel...and that it had Hutchinson rubber brake lines. I may have to replace both with aftermarket (or make both on my own).

Wouldn't you have to change your username?

I'm interested in how much weight affects times in these cars. I mean.. does it make a big difference with weight reduction, or very small one.
Also, since my car mainly has increased times because it can't hook up, I would think a little weight over the back tires in the trunk might actually help times?
