My car: 4k lbs, or there abouts.
09 vette: 3300 lbs, or there abouts.

'09 C6 Vette = 3215lbs
'09 Z06 Vette= 3180lbs.
^^^ That's not heavy. With all of the government mandated safety crap (Front, side, top, ass, crotch air bags, etc) they did pretty well at keeping the weight down.
Comparison using published HP, Curb weights and MSRP:
'09 Carrera S =$90K-- 385hp-- 3219lbs
'09 Base vette = $48.5K-- 430hp-- 3217lbs
'09 GT3 = $105K-- 415hp-- 3075lbs
'09 Z06 = $74K-- 505hp-- 3180lbs
'09 GT2 = $190K-- 520hp-- 3175lbs
'09 ZR1 = $104K-- 638hp-- 3324lbs
Carrera GT = $440K-- 605hp--3043lbs
2009 G8 Gt = $32K --361hp-- 3995lbs
To call the Vette a "gas guzzler" would be admitting that your heavier LSx car is even more of a "gas guzzler". My buddy's '07 Z06 gets in the 30's on the highway with that waaay overdriven 6th gear. My 2.0L only gets about 23-24mph on the highway. Shit..I don't even think a Porsche can crack into the 30's.

Yeah..maybe hang with/edge out a base C6 vette in a straight line w/ your blown G8.
But if your encounter utilizes the steering wheel and brakes, stick a dick in your butt---your fucked. That's where the extra money goes. Your supercharger, plus suspension, plus BBK,wider tires, plus serious weight reduction will eat into that $16K difference with a quickness.
And I have a bigger hard on for Porsches than I do for Vettes...but the truth can't be twisted.
Americans can and do make good cars/trucks. And that's the bottom-fucking-line-
