Boris,

I though that was kinda low.

993 RS weight (2800 lbs) is pretty damn good (remember this is with full tank, spare etc.).

The 3064 lbs listed for the C2 in the US literature should include standard equipment, so it should include AC and a sunroof.

Does anyone know what fuel level is used for the so-called "curb" weight?

Does anyone know how much weight the sunroof adds? My car is a sunroof-delete car.

Todd,

That 3064 lbs does not include sunroof or a/c.

I'm not sure about "curb" weight but I'd assume that means the same as DIM weight, which is tank full of gas (plus all other fluids).

Pong, I'm not certain whether the factory info includes fuel, but I'd doubt it so you'd be ahead there. Plus, remember that RUF did add a few choice pieces that add a bit of weight --and all you got for it was SERIOUS power. Of well, the sacrifices we make
A more reasonable comparison would be your full wet weight against that of a TT. Now how's THAT for savings!

Edward,

RUF did add weight, but then they also took off some, such as flywheel, manual seats, mirror, etc. I don't know what they did all in all, but I saw the 2,994# on the scale.

Funny enough, my racing 993 when she was stock with rollbar and the heavy RSCS tail never made the 3064 weight! I had to add weight to make it through... By this I was always under the impression that the 95 C2 was lighter than the posted 3064 weight...

Edward,

Factory (DIN) weight includes all fluids = gas tank full.

My n/b '95 Coupe on corner balance scales weighed 3260 w/ a full tank and 200+ lb driver.

after a major diet on the same scales same condition 2945

since then a DAs rollbar has been added and a much lighter tail subtrated a bit.

As another data point, my '97 C2S, when stock and with a full tank of gas, came in at 3115lbs on our scales. With driver, it was 3400 (on a light day!).
