True. But pretty light compared to the track monster that the ZL1 is so it's all relative. Would be interesting to compare center of gravity and unsprung weights between M generations though as that makes a huge impact. Also of interesting note, the M2 is ~8% heavier and runs about 8% more section width on tire than the E36.
