How much does a 997 weigh? My 95 C2 was about 3000 lbs.

997 is longer than a corvette.

Was behind and C4S cab last month with the top down. I was in my M3 with the top down....both of us with dates. Man that car looked awesome. We had a very nice piece of highway to play on...287 from NY into N. Jersey....he started but wasn't into it. Not that I wanted to race just have fun with the 3, no traffic/no place for a cop to be, lanes of roadway.

I want a 997 C4S cab.

No, read what "In the Air" wrote...

997 C2/C2S are "narrow"; 997 C4/C4S (including all 997 Targas) "wide"

The 997 is larger yes. By 25%? Maybe, but it sure isn't 25% more weight. The 993 and the 997 are almost the same weight. Its a common misconception here on the 993 forum that 993s are substantially lighter than 997s.

Here's a photo previously posted on the "FAT ASSES" thread for another example. Both are beautiful but IMO the 993 looks just as wide if not wider here because it's shape is more refined.

The angle makes a difference. Here is mine next to a 997.
