Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
That's the factory's number - in street trim they tend to be considerably heavier (but the difference 01 to 02 shouldn't change)
Leading evidence: 'Replace )' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace )' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i think GrantG is simply referring to "street trim" as normal options, as opposed to the base car the factory weighs to get their curb weight figures. if you have the upgraded stereo and the cd changer then there's maybe 10 pds extra due to the 2 extra speakes in the dash and the cd player. full leather is heavier than the synthetic stuff they use. let's see... power seats add weight, as do heated seats, also if you have the onboard computer (ok, maybe it's only a pound, but a pound's a pound!). the aero kit obviously adds a lot of weight.
i wonder how heavy you can make a 996 C2 if you get every possible option on it... 12,000 pounds???
My car (1995 993) had about 70 lbs extra (3137 lbs vs. 3065 lbs factory number) and it didn't have that much options; Sunroof, hi-fi stereo, 17" wheels (16" were standard), some leather, sport seats (which actually are few pounds less) and M030 suspension.
So my guess is pretty much any car has at least that much extra weight from factory number and when you have more options, it's easy to have 100 lbs (or more) extra...
Ok, thanks guys. Makes sense.
I guess when it's 50 lbs here or there you also have to think about driver and passenger weight. Good thing Gnomes are little!
I am fairly sure the curb weight porsche uses is for non sunroof cars. I weighed my 99 996 it was around 90 pounds over with no gas. It has a sunroof, 18" wheels, heated memory seats and Litronic lights.
factors involved. I'm trying to figure if the power to weight ratio is better in an 02' vs 01' c2 with similar options. I recently tracked my porker (3600lb.) S4 and was embarrassed by a lighter (~2950lb.) RX8. I'd like to take my "soon to have" 996 to the track a few times a year.
