Too lazy to Google ....What is the weight difference like 50 pounds ? Considering these cars were the most expensive GM produced in the 90's it would have been nice if they lightened certain body panels...

I'm sure many of you own C5 Z06's...You can raise the hood on that car with one finger as opposed to a shoulder press when it comes to the ZR-1....I realize it is a bigger hood but there are many spots where they could have shed the weight..

Of course a decade and a half later Chevy built the LS7 Z06 with lightweight panels and a car with 505 HP that weighed all of 3,100 pounds..
