Doesn't that mean that it's lighter than a stock ZR-1?.. Very hard to believe.

Just my humble opinion, but I think it's an ugly "packaging exercise".

NO way that big old honkin v12 is only 100 lbs heavier than the LT1 or even the LT5 for that matter

they had to stretch the car just to make it fit and that big old v12 is a heavy mutha

kinda like the "new boat motor" everyone is excited about, sure is pretty, but it really is a boat anchor and is very heavy

cool idea, but execution was a bit rough on the Falconer "big doggie" as we like to call it.
