Not bad! Still 250lbs lighter than a new Corvette--or 12,425lbs lighter than a GT-R!

Damn all that removed and still 2930. I think porsche was waaay off on their estimates on the cars weight. Aren't they supposed to be just a tick over 3000lbs stock?

DanR

^ I thought 3148 was the std weight?

Seems like there were varying levels of weight from the factory with all their factory options. When I got my car, I weighed it immediately. It was 3050lbs. Already had the rear seats removed, washer tank, and spare tire and service tools were all removed.

I knew the 951 had half a 928 motor but didn't know it had half the weight as well.

The cage has to weight in around 100+ lbs. or more right?

reno808

not to bad thanks for posting now i think my car should be a little lighter cool. I assume you were in it?

Interestingly enough according to Porsche brochure for 88 Turbo S the car weighs 1350kg, or 2976lbs.

How did you weigh your car? I really want to see where i'm at.

DanR

No I was not in it so the weight is car alone, however when they corner balanced it they simulated my weight in the drivers seat

DanR

I took it into the race shop for corner balance and alignment and that is where the weight came from

Mike Buck

yeah, that sounds about right. These cars are really heavy. The factory numbers are a joke.

Maybe US cars weighed more due to extra crash protection (read ugly bumpers)?

porshhhh951

That sucks.
