Ahh, damn. Eeriness broken.

That's right about when I made my initial deposit with Hinson to grab a place in line, though.

Dunno if you'll see it here or the other forum first, but I got to see Hinson's bracket for the Ford diff, looks good (click):

ooo... nice.

C5 Z06 "properly optioned" or not = 3150 lb, +350 lb.
C6 base = 3250 lb., +450 lb.

12.5% and 16% heavier than this S, and worse weight distribution (52/48).

With a 50 lb. weight gain over a stock AP1, 50 lb. LIGHTER than an AP2, you're "surprised" it weighs THAT MUCH with a 3.5x bigger engine?!

Anyway, LS7000 FTMFW!

incorrect. i have cornerweighted both cars, a few examples of each. they are lighter. but this is not corvette talk, so i will leave the issue alone.
