Well a ZR-1 vette is heavier than a SHO :)  And the C4's in general were a
bunch heavier than the C5/C6.

My 89 (no options) was 3180 (no fuel) weighed and my 92 (all options) was
3380 (no fuel) w/ SFC's and 96 brakes.
  
The SHO is only really "heavy" on the track compared to it's stock 10"
brakes and skinny 6" wheels.
