I happened to see a little note on Chevy's "Build Your Own Vehicle" website stating that the 1LT is the lightest of the Stingrays. Unfortunately, I cannot find any accurate data stating the different trim-level curb weights. I'm interested to know just how different they are on both the base and Z51 equipped 1LT, 2LT and 3LT trim levels.

The frustrating thing is, I work for GM and nobody can point me in the right direction to find this information. The manager I report to has a son who works at the Bowling Green plant, as does the Dana Frame representative here at our plant, and neither one knows.

Does anyone out there have this info?

Thanks in advance....

Have not seen that ever broken out. Is your bottom-line question about 0-60 speed, fuel economy or ? Or just curiosity?

i don't have all of the data points at my fingertips, but IIRC, the weight diff between the Z51 1LT and Z51 2LT/3LT was something inconsequential like 38 pounds.

More curiosity than anything, but since GM claimed this it peaked my interest. I've always been a firm believer in power to weight ratio after learning about vehicles like the Lotus Super 7 (Caterham) and Ariel atom..
Also, I'm wanting to trade in my portly 2010 2SS/RS Camaro on a Z51 1LT.. And was curious what the difference is.. Seeing that the Camaro is nearly 4000 pounds..

Three major car magazines test a 3LT with Z-51 and got within five pounds of 3,440 pounds; of course we do not know half a tank, full tank, etc.

Here's a GM chart that might be interesting, with C6 to C7 weight increase factors.
