It's actually heavier than that too... It's 300 pounds lighter than the ZL1, but only 100 or so lighter than the base SS.

The thing I like about it, is the engine. The LS7. Same as in the Z06 vette, and not a de-tuned version either. Until you drive a car with this engine, you just can't appreciate the torque band and just how fast it revs to 7100 rpm.

Those Ariel's look fun. I wouldn't swap my Z out for one though. It's plenty visceral for me. Scares the piss out of me just about every time I take it out. I do not turn off the active handling, ever.
