Any how, curious whether it's the stock weight or have you installed the roll cage, fire extinguisher etc yet.

Besides, compared to my wife's Expedition, the C2 is a lightweight. Get a Caterham if you're looking for light...
That's not that heavy. I believe manufactorer's weight is dry weight without any fluids etc. If you weight any car on an actual scale, you'll find it's close to 100 lbs more than dry weight especially since cars come with options added.
Alan,
That's 365 lbs to remove,...good, now you have the excuse to make the 996 look like a real race car, start ripping it apart
.
I am pretty sure you knew you had to do this though before you bought it, right? Any how, curious whether it's the stock weight or have you installed the roll cage, fire extinguisher etc yet. The racing seats and removing the rear seats will be a good start, along with the spare if you have'nt done so.
I know your 993 is street legal, wonder whether you are planning to do the same here. Either way I am very curious what your sequence of weight reduction be?
NO, NO ,NO....I WISH, I don't even know when my next DE will be, booohooooohoooo,
But no harm in dreaming right ?, besides who said a little weight reduction is'nt bad for DE's.
I guess as a low water mark you could look at the newest 996 cup cars which wiegh around 2550. That is with carbon doors, hood, etc, no interior, blah, blah.
My race car weighs 2830 with a cage and all the steel body parts but without exhaust.
I think you could create a very nice streetable 996 with lots of CF and only the basic creature comforts at around 2900. Maybe less if you are willing to give up stuff like carpet in the trunk, tools, amp, etc.
I'm pretty sure the lightest you could drive one off the showroom floor would be around 3000 to 3050 lbs.
Jim
In it's current form my car has the Bose stuff, full leather, memory seats and heavy stock wheels and tires. Ditch the seats, spare and tools add a set of Forgelines with Hoosiers and I can see a 75 - 85 pound weigth loss. Change out the mufflers and maybe another 15 pounds. So 100 is possible without a great deal of trouble. Of course the gas amounts to around 100 pounds. Dry the car could see 3075.
Hey this isn't so bad. I'm only 10 pounds over the legal weight of my 993 in D and this thing has way more go. I think I'll go drink a beer
