2012 Camaro ZL1 actual weight and weight bias
Just had my 2012 ZL1 on our corner weight scales in preparation for some future mods and just thought I would share the data.
This was a 2012 ZL1, manual trans, no sunroof without driver and almost empty tank of gas. Forgeline wheels are 8lbs lighter each than stock base rims. Stock Corner Weights: RF: 1074lbs LF: 1053lbs RR: 938lbs LR: 952lbs Total weight 4020lbs Diet perhaps?

I also want to keep it streetable, so even though I will be replacing the seats with lighter ones they will not be all out race seats. Whatever we do, we will post actual weight savings here! /Erik |

I weighed at Byron in Illinois a couple weekends ago 4075lbs. w/ Half tank, 175lbs driver and 30lbs cargo. That puts the car at 3870lbs even with 1/2 tank of gas. |

Well I am sure they did save weight on certain parts over the SS, but the overall package is still heavier. Figure in the much larger rear end, the whole blower assembly and the bigger brakes and there alone you have a couple hundred pounds. Although I am starting to think that someone hid some lead weights somewhere inside the body panels...  /Erik |

Are you gonna try to reduce? What do you attack? Backseat is worthless. Raceseats in the front would save some too. But whats that? 100lbs? Then what? Carbon fiber hood and trunk lid..... Aluminum lug nuts It has aluminum rotor hats right? Whats the radiator made out of? Mufflers with all that actuator stuff? You'd probably be doing real good if you could find 300lbs.
