Excellent comment.

Car and Driver Jan-2004 tested the US-04-GT3: 3219 lbs.

Car has PCCB and A/C.

BTW, the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale was 3157 lbs (Just 62 lbs lighter). Ferrari claims that the Stradale is a 2800 lbs car.

Don't forget that the factory published weights are for an ROW car with NO options. This also means GT3 seats which are approximately 45 lbs lighter than the sport seats we get in North America.
Is that 45lbs each seat? Or 45lbs for both seats?

So I'm going to assume my car weights right around that, since I have steel rotors, but one GT3 seat.

You can also save an additional 18lbs by changing out the boat anchor stock wheels.

Anyone know the weight savings for an "optima" battery, vs. stock?

I don't know the weights but the GT2 and GT3 already use a smaller battery than the standard 996 & Turbo (60 Ah vs. 80Ah).
