For those of you just now getting your new '02s, first of all CONGRATS, and please check the nameplate data on back (inside) surface of the driver's door while opened for your Z06's GVWR. Also, please check the passenger/cargo weight capacity. I would be curious to know this info. TIA.
Could someone who owns an '01 check the same weights as well and report their findings. If I remember correctly, I believe the '01 Z06 GVWR is 3549 lbs and carrying capacity is 399 lbs, thus the car itself (presumably, fully fueled) weighs 3150 lbs. That seems high, but I think that's what the nameplate said on the last car I happened to check.
It will be interesting to find out the difference from '01 to '02 and verify which car is lighter and by how much.
UPDATE NOTE (as of 9-27-01): I know of a new '02 Z06's in at a dealer with a wt. "as shipped" of ~110 lbs less than it's GVWR. I guess the shipping wt. all depends on the added wt. of any gas left in the tank from the factory.
