Large wheels are 22lbs lighter per wheel to teh smaller 20 inch wheels on the SS.
Looks are subjective.
What you want is a Z28, or what I believe to be a real Z28.
This is not supposed to be that type car. This is a GT500 fighter, a super-car for under 60k.
This car is not for you, no doubt. The ZL1 will not be offered with an auto, or a convertable, or with a sunroof.
LS7 costs more then the LSA does by a good margin. Would be easier to make a higher output LS3.
99% of the people on this board are not buying this car. Cars of this caliber, despite the badge, need to have certain things. It needs heated seats. It needs fancy interiors. It needs it because everyone else is doing it.
If they dont, then you guys come on line and say that GM makes 2nd rate cars that dont compete.

Well if it needs all these "things" it should also have more extensive use of exotic materials to get the thing under 2 tons. Carbon fiber front fenders, hood and deck lid. If the 22's it rolls on are lighter, then I'd venture a guess that an 18" wheel would be lighter still. If Ford can get their car to 3820 lbs, why can't GM get into the same ballpark? 300lbs is 300lbs?
