Neat on the hood. How much does the stock one weigh?

I always kind of wondered how much weight could be saved with different body panels. It's too bad some of that stuff wasn't feasible when the Z came out. Imagine it with an aluminum chassis and CF body panels.

Would the plenum just be to save weight? I still think it's interesting that there are basically no alternative intakes for the LT5. I don't know if that's a compliment on the original design, or a result of the small market for LT5 stuff.
