Hemi_Joel master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 7,489 Minnesota	Originally Posted by an8sec70cuda I asked on one of the Facebook posts about the vette's weight and was told it was nearly 3500 lbs if I recall correctly. I find that hard to believe. I know they aren't as light as some think, but still....it's a fiberglass body w/ aluminum heads, aluminum intake, lightweight brakes, etc. There's no way it's as heavy as a hemi E body. Never believe anything that any FAST racer tells you at any time. Or any other heads up racer for that matter.
