What's the point? How much lighter than a Z06? Not much, I'd wager...
And to up the ante even more, we added a Hot cam from GM Performance Parts (GMPP) and tri-Y headers to allow the engine to blast out roughly 600 hp. The car will weigh less than 3,000 pounds when it is completed and ready to run, so it'll be fast.

I was too lazy to read the article. What's the Z06, 3100 lbs? Unless they stripped out the Solstice, I doubt it'd come under 3,000 with the regular NA Ecotec weighing around 2,850 lbs. Less than 150 lbs x-tra for a 7L V8, much bigger brakes, 6-speed tranny (I assume), beefed up drive-line (I assume, again, cus I'm too lazy to read the article), bigger wheels and tires, home-made body kit, roll bar, etc. I doubt it...

I read some of it the other day in hot rod magazine it it ran 10.9 in the 1/4 and spanked the vette. They also said it was cheaper to buy a zo6 then it is to build this car custom. I think it is pretty cool car.
