What do you think is going to add 500+ pounds to the GT500, when the hood and fenders are made of lightweight composites?

Supercharger and intercooler, pipes, hoses, etc. 100# +/-
7 speed DC trans vs. 6 speed manual 50# +/-
misc. stuff 50# +/-

My guess is 3950#

Don't forget the 5'2" driver who will blip the throttle endlessly as he cruises the neighborhood (have come to hate the sound of a flat crank).

That new Vette is the next one to annoy everyone to death. It'll come with the ability to blip the throttle without even the effort of pressing down on a clutch pedal, just pull back the two paddles on the steering wheel simultaneously...the steering wheel with a flat, belly-clearing bottom. There's a 'loud' optional exhaust system available.

What kind of 'sports car' weighs 4,000+ pounds and carries golf bags at the furthest point from its center of gravity?

A damn good one, I'd say.

FWIW, here's the C8 I have on pre-order...

Nice!! Z51 or no? Isn't it great to see Mustangs, Camaros, Mopars and Corvettes competing for buyers in real time horsepower and performance wars again?

EDIT - I see in the lounge thread you did say it will have the Z51 package. I also just posted a new Z06 / ZR1 concept render in that thread. Semi reliable rumours about an 850HP version of the Cadillac twin turbo V8 ("technically" a different engine) being assembled at the bowling green plant for the halo model Vette.

That is a lovely car.

Tough enough straight out of the box.
