Sure, less weight is always better, but horsepower is nice too.

That said, the stock Z has ~9.73 lbs/hp while a 500hp TT Z has 6.74 lbs/hp.

So, even with an extra 140lbs (conservative estimate), the extra power is well worth it on the TT kit.


good statment mike

not too mention, you can do a multitude of things to improve handling besides worrying about 100 pound kit giving you 200+whp. actually, with you statment i can say that you dont have to worry about stripping the car and it remaining street legal. sticky tires, coilovers, sway bars with a SC or TT kit along with some cooling systems and your set
