It would have to have more HP (> 430) since it would weigh quite a bit more. The truely remarkable thing about the Vette is it's curb weight. It weighs almost exactly what the 370Z does.......with a 6.2 liter engine. The more expensive Vettes are actually much lighter than the Z. The Vette's frame is it's magic.
