I'd be shocked if the new 6 cylinder Z4/Supra is lighter than a C7 Stingray. People seem to underestimate the amount of lightweight tech that goes into the Corvette, which includes a full aluminum chassis/front and rear subframes/upper and lower control arms, carbon fiber hood and roof panel, composite body panels everywhere else and magnesium seat frames. Not to mention the fact that the LT1 V8 is very compact and lacks the turbo/intercooler hardware that are needed on turbo I6 powertrains. FYI the C7 Stingray weighs less than a 4 cylinder 230i...
