Default GTB1 Minimum Weight
New to GTB1, I just bought a 2008 Cayman S which was previously raced in GTB1. The minimum weight listed on the old 2022 tech sheet from is 2950 lbs. I do not have much information on the car, any help would be great. I believe I should be at 2670 or 2720 if it has a GT3 intake.

The 2950 lbs only applies to the 987.2 6-speed. If it is a 987.1, then the 2670 and 2720 lbs apply, but those weights are not impossible but very expensive to get to. I made it to 2740 lbs with min fuel.

I bought Kim Estep's old car. I had a great time yesterday at Lime Rock learning the car. Way different than an air cooled 911.
