At 1:21 in the video it shows the stats on the GT3 RS with a weight of 3,792 lbs (wet). That seemed high to me so I checked the Porsche website and it lists the GT3 with a curb weight of 3,153 lbs. The GT3 RS doesn't list a curb weight, but shows the gross vehicle weight rating at 3,792 lbs so that's not really the "wet" weight.

The GT4's listed curb weight is 2,955 lbs. I recall 4carl's thread where his GT4 came in at 3,083 lbs with half a tank of gas. So, with a 200-lb driver, I guess it's reasonable to assume the GT4 weighs around 3,300 lbs wet and the GT3 RS is around 3,400 lbs wet.

Heaviest config RS with 3/4 fuel is 3250.
Lightweight config and some easy mods is sub 3000 empty.

Crazy impressive for this size, luxury, downforce and power numbers.

I don't see the merit of this review in the rain. The guy was driving at a walking pace. RS is clearly a beast!
