...that just sounds glorious! I can only hope my project car can come CLOSE to something like that someday.As for the Boxster, I thought the cab was already down to around 2700-2800 lbs.? I remember reading how making it as light as possible was a major goal since it was never going to have 911 power? Maybe I'm wrong. BUT...if a coupe should be even lighter and a "lightweight" should be even lighter than that...maybe they can get one down to the 2500 lb range? Not earth shattering, but quite substantial in today's world. Let's just hope!
