If you have ever seen a C7 up close you will realize it is a much smaller car than a BMW 3 series car. It's not Lotus-small but almost.
Fair enough--and for the final word on that, I guess we play the waiting game.

I won't say I'm optimistic that the production car is down to their quoted curb weight estimates, but if they've been ANYWHERE close to being honest, we should see a car that meets or beats the new corvette's 3450 lbs. As for me, I'm still waiting on reviews, but I won't be a strong potential buyer if this thing doesn't weigh somewhere near the "less than 3307 pounds" talk for the lightest optioning of the car.
