On page 55, it shows vehicle weights plus options. Curb weight with the V8 hardtop is 3135.
The Z28 package adds 83 lbs.
The Z22 RS package adds 27.
M20 adds 16, while the M21/M22 adds 4 (yes, both add 1/4 of what the M20 adds)
Front disc brakes add 26.
Following this page are the AMA specs. It shows the Z/28 as having a curb weight of 3296 lbs.
Same document shows front disc brakes adds 41, plus 11 for power. |
So that gets back to what I've always seemed to find with my own cars, that the published weights always seem to be a bit on the light side.
Looking over the first set of stats you provide, the Z/28 package adds weight, which would include disc brakes. So one could assume you wouldn't add it twice as the stats might suggest. So ignoring the 26 lbs. and adding 83 lbs. for Z/28 and another 27 lbs. for the RS package we still only come up with 3245 lbs. Which is what I always hear people say. Not even close to what my RS Z weighs at 3472 lbs. Has power steering but I don't see that adding more than another 10-15 lbs.
Then look at the AMA specs and they more than double the disc brake weight. ??? Not sure what to believe since these cars, for me anyway, and being on an actual scale, always seem to swing all over the place.
Not trying to spoil the party and I hope EZ Nova finds a way to get these racing classes off the ground. Just pointing out what you might run into.
