Well since i started this thread I suppose I should come back to some of these counter points.

Yes all GM has said is that it will be under 4,000 Lbs. Didn't they say before around 3,700 at some point? My GUESS is 3,800 and some change. I remember riding in a LS2 gto and the weight of that car really hampered acceleration. Sure it still had that kick in the pants from the torque but The overall acceleration was hampered by its curb weight. My 96 z28 sure as hell didn't weigh 3,500 lbs and it had an iron block. I know all this safty stuff is pushing the vehicle weights up but if they made better choises about the components they used and the materials then it wouldn't bew this big of an issue. the constantly add weight to save costs and they end up with a pig heavy car. I would rather pay 3k more and have it built with better materials.

Jeremy Clarkson says it best. The C6 corvette is the only good american car made today and all things considered I would have to agree. Its the only one I would buy besides the camaro if it turns out nice and I need a back seat a few years from now. But I would more likly buy a BMW if I need a back seat since the driving dynamics are better.

in the end though it all comes down to steering feel and balance. If I can feel the front tires and hold a balance point the rest really dosn't matter. Thats why the miata is in car and drivers 10 best every year.
