991 S Corner Weights

991 S Corner Weights
During a lull in the action at the Carrera of the Americas PCA race this weekend where I was volunteering to work tech, I got a chance to get the car on the scales.
This is with me in the car (~220 lbs) and nearly a full tank of gas. F/R distribution is 40.2%F / 59.7% R.
Overall, I'm very pleased the car is very decently balanced with me in the car.

That's not bad:
3,433 - 220 (you) - 123 (fuel) = 3,090ish
3,090 pounds/400 HP = 7.7 pounds/HP
3,433 pounds/400 HP = 8.6 #/HP

My 996tt is suppose to be 3394 lbs. Granted I took rear seats out but other then that it is stock. When on the scales with a full tank but no driver.
FL: 679 FR: 592
RL: 1035 RR: 1079
Total 3385 +190 (me) = 3575 lbs
Had I had the rear seats back in it. I'd expect it to come very close to its stated curb weight above.

3120 lb is the "official" weight for an S with PDK, which my car has. Assuming that's a dry weight...
3433 - me= 3213 lbs - fuel + oil of about 93 lbs= 3120. Seems about right to me.

The always quote curb weight not dry weight. Even being a PDK is it still too heavy.

LED head lights should be lighter weight. Only thing that looks like it could add weight would be the Bose with larger or more speakers. The optional sun roof would add weight but doesn't look like you added it. Porsche must be getting their curb weight by adding PCCB's and any optional light weight part or delete option.
