Are you going to race the '02 in C?

JPhillips-998

0 ballast
'89 944 Turbo
race seats
cage
18" wheels
full carpet
sound deadening removed
full glass
cat removed
side exhaust (less stainless)

3050 w/1/2 fuel while the limit is 2998.

maybe this is why I don't see the necessity to change car weights.....whoever posted that they need 300 lbs of balast to make weight with no other than safety mods is a concern. No way I would want to add a 300 lb chunk of metal in the car. Not doubting it, just really surprised that someone would have to carry that much ballast with a stock, safety-only modded car.

On the other hand, if sound deadening removed, power window/sunroof motors, excess electrical, etc., etc. etc....then you have made a concious decision to lighten the car and it is your issue. I can't speak to other stock classes and weight, I am just saying keep in mind all of the things that you have done to the car to get it to it's current weight and look at it from that perspective.

0 Ballast
F-stock '92 968
Full cage
Fikse's
Recaro SPG
Kill switch
Window net
No rear seatbacks
Spare tire in place

Seems to sit right at 3086 (limit) with a wee bit of fuel.

I seem to be the exception as most other 968's I've heard of seem to have to carry some ballast.

full extensive cage
sparco evo 2's, rear top removed
17" BBS Mg's + Toyos
Straight exhaust - stainless
No sound deadening
factory glass
full factory carpets
no radio or speakers
small FE
tarret sway on front
Bilstein coilovers

3270 with driver. 3 25lb lead bricks + spare tire. i weigh 180lbs with all my gear. 1/2 tank of gas. have to run at 3250 for 944SuperCup

so i'm at about 2970 w/ just that gas no spare or ballast in a car that has a min of 2998. could maybe do a rear bumper in FG to save some weight. not going to find 100 more pounds easily . . certainly w/o going further into rule "gray areas"


Jeff,
i'm with you on the whole elective lightening mods issue. Seems kinda ironic huh? stock safety only car is one thing, but elective mods are a problem of your own doing.

Sounds like the 944/968 platform doesn't have any issues with the listed weights. I wonder if this is something 911 specific (the recent models)? I wonder how the Boxster's and 928's compare.

I don't do enduros, but would probaly have to ballast if I did. I generally fill the tank for a sprint and that just about gets me by with about 30 lbs of safe room.

Eric in Chicago

F stock 944S2
I use fuel to make weight (need to finish race with over 1/2 tank) but if I plan on running light fuel load or doing a enduro, I need appx 50 lbs of ballast (depending on scale reading) Car has all the normal race mods (Fiske, full cage, race seats, ect.)

Mark in Baltimore

1995 993
D stock
Mods: Fikse wheels, muffler bypasses, lightweight seats, rollbar, Momo Mod .07 steering wheel
Weight: 3064 lbs. published weight to meet PCA's stock rules
Ballast: 75 lbs. I actually need about 60 lbs. but carry more for scale/driver fudge factor

Charlie,
Unfortunately the '02' won't be in C. After 2 rounds of spine surgery I decided to hang up racing. Can't handle all the loading/unloading equipment.

One more for the '944-based weights seem accurate' file.

1989 E-class 944 Turbo.
Stock except for: Typical safety items (except fire system). Redone suspension including light sways. Fikse wheels and Hoosiers. Removed ~15# of sound deadening under the driver seat plus the rear seatback. Lighter exhaust.

Min weight is 2998#. With 1/4 tank, I'm at 3040#, so no ballast needed.

Alan, sorry to hear you won't be racing anymore. You could always hire a arrive-and-drive crew to do the work for you...

1995 993 RS "clone", 125lb of lead ballast in floorboard to meet 2780lb dry weight.
