FWIW the owner's manual lists the curb weight at 2998 lbs. However, I've never heard of anyone's Turbo S weight actually coming in that low.

3200 sounds about right. Mine is 3030 w/ 3/4 tank, but I have light seats, exhaust, suspension, etc. (but also have a cage). I think mine was around 3180 w/ a full tank before the upgrades.

OK, 406HP and 393TQ........ run in not reccomended 3rd, because of excessive wheel spin in 2nd. Also in the manual, it states #'s are LOWER than WHP, but doesnt say by how much. SO...... with the drag from the 3rd gear run, low NET hp #, and 15% drivetrain loss what do you guys think the car is making?

Ok, I just did a run in a WRX STI stock...... 290HP 306TQ.......... this is pritty accurate, but what about what it states in the manuel about NET HP???? This would mean the STi is making more than stock HP? or it is accurate, and my 968 is not making the power I thought??/??

Thumbs down wow

The fact that he brings up the STi is almost hilarious in hindsight.
