Default What's the actual weight of the US RS?

There's been much speculation on the weight difference between the GT3 and the RS; does anybody have actual measurments for the US bound RS? BTW my GT3 weighs 3260 with almost a full tank of gas. Only options are the xenon lights, fire extinguisher and floor mats.

Agreed. But could it be brought down to 3,000 Lb without changes to interior and outside looks? That's not possible with the GT3.

Yes, someone please weigh your RS!

I would guess a no option RS to weigh 3160 w/o gas.

Mine weighs 3328 with a full tank. have the following:

Power seats (adaptive)
Sound+
Chrono
Mats
xenon
LWFW -18lbs

So when you add back the 18lbs my car weighs 86lbs more than yours. That is a lot for seats, sound+ and chrono. How close to full tank were you?

From full tank, I just had a single short session at Roebling Road. The gauge showed between 1/8 to 1/4 less than full, much closer to the 1/8 mark.

1/8 would be about 14.5lbs so still about 72lbs more. I can't wait to weigh these power seats!
