Agree, but it is a nice bonus when you are already looking to change wheels and tires like I may be doing at some point before summer next year (well, rims first...tires later on). I'm looking at some Factory Reproductions ZL1 wheels that are said to be a tad lighter than the stock RS/SS wheels and won't be that expensive. By the time I re-sell my stock wheels, it won't be that expensive of a change for rims. Then if I go with a tire like the General Tire Gmax tires, which weight a couple lbs less per tire in the front, and 6 lbs less than each in the rear, thats some decent rotational mass shaved.
So that coule be 8 or so lbs lost in each rear tire which could be an extra 5 - 10 HP gained. Sure its not much, but I'll take it lol.
