You’re annoyed that I took the time to do this with these three cars and made a very short 2min video? Not many people have all these cars in the same place or have scales. How about a thanks for doing this and providing some real world data that’s helpful to people. Too many people complain just like you are. This post provides something other than another value thread...
Relax, I didn't attack you and it is good data to have. Just doing a favor for others and better to have it written. If I didn't care about I wouldn't have taken the time to write the data and post it.
Perhaps a dumb question, but why so much more weight on the left side than the right?
There’s a pad under the front left (wheel stop) that the scale is sitting on. Normally if I’m corner weighting a car I have them farther forward but today I just wanted to get the overall weights. I forgot to mention earlier to disregard the each scale and only look at the total.

But have to agree - in todays world, I would never watch a 2 min video just to see 1 second of info - I'm glad you posted, and also glad someone summarized.
Just for info I recently had my 20 year old 996 GT3 CS weighed (before adjustments), and it came in at basically around 3192 lbs, that was with a full tank of fuel. It does have a Manthey K400 kit which includes bigger/heavier front brakes and uprated suspension, plus a big heavy battery, thought it might be a bit lighter but not so.

Wow l'm surprised as well, 1446kg is a porker. I always thought the 996.1 was the most pure and lightest GT3.

That's kind of what I thought, although I do know the standard 996 C2 was quite a few kg lighter than the GT3. Official figures seem to suggest it should be under 3000 lbs (1360kg), but that's maybe without fluids etc and of course standard lighter front brakes etc.
