6GT3 vs 7GT3 weight
#17
My friend just had his 997.1 GT3 corner balanced. Car is stock with sunroof, Navigation, PASM, PCCB, and he has 18" CCW wheels with R888s. It weighed 3436 with full fuel and 180 lbs driver balast. So that would make his curb weight 3256 lbs. That's 181 lbs. heavier than the 3075 lb. curb weight listed in the Porsche brochure earlier in this thread.

I agree. It's odd though because the automotive definition of "curb" or "kerb" (UK) is the weight of the vehicle with full operating fluids. No way a stock 997gt3 weighs 3075 lbs with full fuel and fluids.

All of the corner weights I've seen posted by owners of both platforms leave the 997 numbers in question. Very confusing.

Porsche like most manufacturers lists both weights:
A. According to DIN 70020.
That means kerb weight, fuel tank 90% full, no occupants and standard specification with no extra equipment. Optional extras and accessories generally increase this figure and reduce the payload accordingly.
B. According to EU Directive 92/21/EEC
That means: 'Mass of the vehicle in running order' which means the mass of the vehicle with bodywork in running order (including coolant, oils, fuel, spare wheel, tools and driver).
