GM already did a light-weight ZR-1. It was called the Snake Skinner.
It even had an aftermarket "thin" hood and a Lexan rear hatch.

Re: EME's "Dragon Heart" 378 Ultra light ZR1 build!!!!
The old "Snake Skinner" at it's lightest, still weighed over 3,000 lbs.
With modern parts, and a more radical approach, I think it's possible to build a stock appearing C4 Zr-1 that weighs 2,700 lbs. With a stock block 350 c.i. LT5 that puts out 550hp., (example=Pete's car), you could run, maybe, mid tens. That could embarrass a lot of supercharged, turboed, modern muscle.

Re: EME's "Dragon Heart" 378 Ultra light ZR1 build!!!!
Will you share some more info? What types of racing are you wanting to do with the car? Track days, drag racing, autoX,??
What are some of your plans to lighten the car? Any thoughts on suspension upgrades yet?

Re: EME's "Dragon Heart" 378 Ultra light ZR1 build!!!!
Hey Em, ....so.we are building this car mostly for track/autoX.(adjustsble coil-overs different weight distribution..however with the weight where we want it and the engine putting out 500+ we hope to be able to do well on track and drag...I am working some things that would allow a strong engine to put more to the momentum of the car and less to spin.
