Reply to "Why wasn't a 550 Spyder made with fiberglass in 1955?"

Different sources give different numbers but I think the first customer 550s weighed around 1350 dry, over 1450 wet, and the later high-rail version was a little heavier. Closer to 1500 than 1200.

The 550A was legit closer to 1200 dry.

The Corvette was never in that league, and was aimed more at Jaguar and other big-bore players, and tried to out-power them. A C-Type weighed in at a bit more than 2100 lbs. Which was hardly more than the MG TD!
