Weighed my 781 GTS 2.5T

Yep, they report the lightest possible weight, and from a stripped based model, if they can get away with that. But now it's supposed to be with all fluids, with 90% of fuel, I believe. Motorcycles still claim 'dry' weight, which is absolute crap, since you cannot ride a bike without a battery, and without any fluids. So I NEVER believe manufacturer's weight numbers. They tend to exaggerate on everything else too, including performance numbers (correcting to 'ideal' conditions that of course don't exist for 90+% of people), allowing 'rollout', etc. But at least Porsche is typically conservative (or at least truthful) with those.

Before, lightest configuration.
After, standard configuration.
981-982 big bump in weight due to this change.

do you have the full interior still? What about doing a fiberglass boot and bonnet?
