I doubt it. For one, the ZR-1 has wider bodywork and larger wheels and tires. Those will add weight.
The other is options. Curb weights are for base cars. The base Corvette doesn't have sports seats, selective ride control, big brakes, etc. All this weight is on the regular Corvette if you option it up, but the curb weight stated will not reflect that. The ZR-1 has them standard, so the curb weight will reflect that.
This is one reason why I suspect that the B2K Corvette in general weighs more than a ZR-1. The B2K had a curb weight of ~3400 lbs also, but they did not include any options other than the big brakes and a few other minor items (like diff gearing, exhaust, etc). Since the typical B2K is highly contented, they on average probably weigh more than a ZR-1, in spite of Reeves supposed comment that the ZR-1 was a pig.
