Would you mind telling us if radio or AC delete was standard on the 911R?

I thought at least the radio delete was standard, but you could add it back in for free.

The single mass flywheel wasn't standard, but an option if I recall correctly?

The real weight difference between the R and 991.2 GT3 manual with same options is going to be the single mass flywheel, carbon fenders and less sound proof materials. That would be 20-30lbs at best.

I know a lot of 991 gt3 rs will read this thread, the q is:

did all of the rs cars have the fire ext placed superweird, so one could not have the floor mats in place????

i hope theyve fixed that problem and wont do it again.

It's not that bad. While you can't use the fasteners the mat will only be slightly offset and fits nicely imho.

A pic of my former GT3 (same as RS):

Sorry for a dumb question, what is the "CS" package.

So if you simply choose both those options when ordering a manual .2 GT3, you'll get a car that weighs just 29lbs more than the 911R. So 29lb less weight is the only real weight advantage of the 911 is due to the magnesium roof and CF front fenders, engine lid.

Personally I'd rather have a manual .2 GT3 with a motorsport engine and a lot more downforce, both of which more than make up for the extra 29lbs

I wouldn't buy a 911R over a GT3 if the MSRP/market costs were the same or even if the R was 30% cheaper.
good points

At the time of this writing the 911R is up on the US builder site.

I think the weights are listed with the lightest possible available options fitted (not standard equipment only).

Interesting. I've had my fair share of clubsports and never seen those. Do you have a part number?
