Agreed - but it's sad to note that the old heavy "truck" 928 (compared to its contemporary 911's) is now lighter than most 911's of today (especially the earlier 928's)...



Doesn't 997S only weigh about 3200lbs? 996GT3 is only about 3050 lbs, right? How much did earlier 928's weigh? I suspect modern chassis and tire technologies help create tremendous timing and "feel" advantages, despite some incremental weight over cars of yesteryear/decades....would be fun to compare N-ring times of some of the modern, alleged porkers vs the allegedly lighter, purer cars of the past.....
