ahhhh that sucks



yep, that's 911 turbo territory



So, 997S weighs roughly 3200lbs and 430 also now weighs about 3200lbs (per Italian wt claims); AM is fairly lame to come in 300 lbs heavy w/no excuse of AWD, etc.....Bez talks a big game about being father of 993, etc, but it seems that Dearborn is actually calling the shots...



Well, the 993 is a wonderful car in many many ways - but lightweight is not one of them. 993 is about same weight as 997 (maybe slightly less), and it's a smaller car than 997 and has less safety-mandated heavy items...

Also, the 997 is not 3,200 lbs in street trim. I assure you it's more (unless it has no options and no fluids)



Interesting...I typically just rely on whatever curb wt specs mfrs provide. Given P seems to provide conservative hp figs, why do you think curb wt figs are understated? Why shouldn't we assume F/Lambo/Merc, etc also play similar games w/published wt and hp figs?
