Where do you get the "30 lbs" from and is that the 'Vette with the power convertible top or the manual one?

The Corvette website lists the exact same curb weight for all four versions of the convertible and apparently makes no allowance for the fact that as you "move up the line" in model; various equipment/options are added that also must be adding weight.
