    997GT3 vs 997GT3RS weight question.

    Is the 997GT3's weight, 1395kg (as per the Porsche website) with or without the carbon seats and rollbar?

    Re: GT3 weight question.

    With standard (not carbon) seats and no rollcage, and my guess is that the standard Euro-spec car does come in pretty close to the stated weight, roadworthy but with no fuel in:
    Sport Auto in Germany weighed a fully fuelled (90 litres), PCCB, bucket seat, PCM, SC, full leather and xenon equipped car at 1440kg. With the various additions and subtractions, that comes out at around 1395-1400 for the standard empty fuel tank car.

    Re: GT3 weight question.

    So if thats the case the regular GT3 with the sport package, ie carbon seats and roll bar is lighter than the RS.

    Re: GT3 weight question.

    While we're on the topic, how much weight is saved by nixing the air conditioning?

    Perhaps but RS remains wider and stiffer

    Re: GT3 weight question.

    now that I think of it, I'm thinking that the cheapest way to reduce weight is to go on a diet!!! hehehe

    Porsche is charging an extra $20k to reduce 20kg. (GT3 vs. RS), I'm thinking on going on a diet and pocketing the $20k!

    Re: GT3 weight question.

    Standard GT3 with carbon seats (-20kg roughly)and roll cage (15kg? 20kg?) will weigh about the same as the standard car.
    The RS is still in theory 20kg or so lighter.
    No a/c would save another 20 or so kg.
    Removing the rollcage another 15 or 20.
    So an RS with PCCB, no a/c, rollcage dismantled, should weigh c. 1320-1325 kg
