Cold air intake, full exhaust and tune....maybe. But decent money and not what I would call "lightly breathed."
2012 was only 100 lbs lighter for an identically equipped car.
The 2015 is slower. But the best MT got out of the 2014 was a 0-60 of 4.3 and a 1/4 mile of 12.7. That's a best time with an above average driver and certainly not indicative of what the cars are averaging.
And again, it depends on the car. Some are simply better than others. That's not out of the range of a stock ZR1 though.
The funny thing is, we're arguing about a car that was designed in the late 80's against cars designed and built 30 years later...The new ones should be faster.

However, in a bow towards total transparency we also are comparing a 5.0 to a 5.7L motor with similar weight. At higher speeds, I suppose the aero on the Vette also comes into play.
