What does your Porsche weigh?

Around 2600 with half tank, based on PO records and mods I've done to it. Only thing keeping it from being "full-functional" is the deleted AC and blower motor stuff under the dash. Lots of other misc. BS taken off.

Options, ABS, bigger brakes, wheels and suspension, some structural bracing, possibly better sound deadening. Different, bigger or wider tyres make a difference too.

Wow, some of the weights in here are amazing. Have to assume that the light cars have most of the metal panels replaced with fibreglass or C/Fibre? The only bits of metal we have is the single skinned roof and tailgate. All the rest is non metallic. We're 2550lbs with 1/4 tank. Cage, dry sump, Aero included.

I'll do a thread when I get a bit of time.
Mine is a very early car, the very first RHD car actually, built early November 1981.
It was 1178kg (2597lbs) wet when I got it, that was with stock interior etc. I took it down to 980kg (2160lbs) dry with one seat mounted. However I've just remembered that was weighed without the half cage so it's probably 40kg/80lbs heavier, plus fluids and the navigator's seat (7kg + mounts). A rough guess now with it brimmed with fuel, both seats, spare wheel in the back etc would be a max of around 1075kg/2370lbs.
Being a very early car it has absolutely zero in additional kit. No PAS, A/C, ABS, keep-fit windows and roof etc. I removed everything from the interior including the glue, it has lexan windows, a trick very thin glass fibre front bumper, plastic valance etc. It also has all extraneous wiring out, just the blower motor and essential wiring remains. Also has a composite bonnet/hood.

Thanks guys.
Yes, it's a pretty hostile environment in there but needs must I guess!
It is an FIA Class 3 historic rally car so I have 911SCs, 3.0 litre Carreras and others in my class. The 944 is a little weapon, knocking out around 175bhp/t so is more than a match for them.
It'll probably be the last car though, there just aren't any 1981 cars left and the cut off for Class 3 is December 31st 1981. I'll keep this one though, it's a fantastic little car.
