Been telling myself this for months............

Well, the Orange T starts with an all steel body. I'll get it weighed and if heavy old 964's blow me off I can revert to a plastic body, a flash exhaust and SW chip

Factory weight is 1050kg's from memory, so with bigger motor, brakes, suspension, box and heavy leather interior (leather wieghts more than fabric) - I'd guess approx 1,100kg's depending on how much sound padding you put in??

Would be interested in seeing this SC - I assume a totally stripped race car as very hard to have a road going 911 under 1,000kg?

The C3 was 1,120kg on fumes and jack and spare in.

Sunday car and sometimes a work hack.
Still have another 10kgs waiting for removal.
Next is to work on my diet

Seriously looking forward to seeing this beast. Just a tease so far

All of these light air-cooled cars should have me worried but as this photo shows 964s are not slouches

And more proof

The new Porsche Boxster Spyder has been revealed at the New York motor show, and is the lightest and most powerful version of the car yet created. The Boxster Spyder joins the range above the GTS and is priced from £60,459. It is available to order now and will reach UK showrooms in July. Powering the new convertible sports car is a 370bhp 3.8-litre flat six engine sourced from the 911. This normally aspirated unit is a significant upgrade on the 325bhp 3.4-litre flat six found in the current range-topping Boxster GTS. The 3.8 engine, which has 309lb ft of torque between 4750rpm and 6000rpm, is hooked up exclusively to a six-speed manual gearbox in keeping with its purist brief. The powerful engine, in combination with a weight saving of 105kg over the 1420kg Boxster GTS, allows the Spyder to sprint from 0-62mph in 4.5sec and reach a top speed of 180mph. In comparison, the Boxster GTS has a 0-62mph time of 5.0sec and a top speed of 175mph. Unlike its recently launched Cayman GT4 stablemate, the Boxster Spyder has not been created by the GT road car division of Porsche’s Motorsport arm and uses no motorsport parts. However, the model has been created in full consultation with the GT division.

Yes I think it will spread. As the modern Porsche starts to feel more like toyota's and Hyundai's, the search will be on to find the true 911 experience.

Jeez, you'll be wearing tweed soon, Dave..If bony arsed, noisy rattles on slippery seats is the ultimate goal, get an old Land Rover..
I will salute as I breeze by in my air conned, bose systemed 'modern' P car, chatting to my broker on my bluetooth..all the while trying to catch John or Pete or Chris in their even better aRs'.. and wondering where the F#@* Macca went...

John McM

Mention Hyundais and Phil will take the bait huh?

I know where Macca went. Off to CCS to get the stones pulled out of his GT3. Dean said they were everywhere when Macca hit road works on the way back from Oakura. The Cayenne wasn't even remotely troubled by them, but then according to the new Ford ad we cayenne owners aren't in the real world.

I've seen your green beast before - sounds really cool.

What mod's have you done to the engine - is it just an exhaust or internals too?

Maxem

You are dead right there Phil. Give me time and I will be into a modern. In the meantime, BMW's are for wafting along.....

Haha the old girl sounds like she'll be a hoot! Good on her! Well done on that.
I'll be having a bid on the Ferrari's so will come introduce myself if I win one.

On the good cause note- reminder of Macca & Jo's efforts in Vanuatu- up to nearly $27,000USD
