Read on, read on. It gets even heavier. :)
I heard privately it is apparently 3075 with the 10% "prepared in excess"
penalty and a 50 lb penalty for using 12" wheels. It sure looked like it
should weigh a lot less than that sitting on the grid. Don't 60s and 70s
vintage Corvettes weigh less than 3000 lbs stock? There must be a heck of a
lot of ballast in that sucker. No wonder it took so long to stop at GGF when
the throttle stuck.
