Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

Hey guys. Whats the weight of the front and rear of our porsche 996 c2? Regards // Norbert

POST 4Original post

Doesn't the weight differ from year-to-year ??? I have heard that the '99 996 C2 is the lightest of the newer design/water-cooled cars. And yes I heard that this weight is under 3,000 lbs for the '99's.

POST 5Original post

Just posted this in the header thread. Corner balanced weight (pulled from one of my posts). My car weighs 3084lbs and 3259lbs with my weight 175lbs (lightweight 02 5 spokes F/R 8”/10”, PS2 235/265, no floor mats except for 1 weathertech driver mat at approximately 5lbs, a hair over 1/4 tank of gas, a stereo amp at approximately 10lbs, heavier GT3 sway bars and TRG drop links, engine protection plate, no spare tire, no toolkit/jack, JICs which weigh the same as stock from my measurements, and the rear strut brace). The car is a 99 996 6spd, w/lsd, rear wiper, heated seats, and tinted windows. No other mods other than what's listed.

POST 6Original post

auto-xr, not to hijack the thread, but I noticed in you sig you have a rear strut tower. How does it mount, in front, or behind, the rear seats? Thanks.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 14Original post

Porsche official weights 996 C2 Mk I 1,320kg 996 C2 Mk II 1,345kg So according to Porsche the Mk I's are about 55lbs lighter. Obviously the more options your car has, the more it will weigh above those figures.

Unless the options are GT3 seats and sunroof delete... I'm going to put my snow tires on the '99 C4 in a week or two - when I do I'll corner balance and post the results.

It would also be nice to have a description of anything done to the car that could change the weight. I'm looking forward to the results.

POST 17Original post

Keep in mind Porsche weighs the cars sans fluids too.

POST 18Original post

Anyone have the corner balanced weight of a 996 c4s. They are supposed to be heavier but I'm curious what the actual weight is. What about a mk1 and mk2 gt3? They are suppossed to be lighter (?).

POST 19Original post

I have PSS9 New sway bars front and rear 18" stock rims full tank of gas, with me in the car C4 cab LF = 742 RF = 704 LR = 1155 RR= 1071 The Sherman Tank weighs in at 3672 those 25 extra horses don't look so good

POST 20Original post

Quotes source post: 4763959

Ok so how much do you wieght, your C4 Cab should be around 3,450

POST 21Original post

Quotes source post: 4763959

Keep in mind your car weight includes the AWD system and it is a Cab. Those two factors alone add quite a bit of weight. Additionally, a full tank of gas (and you in the car) also boost the weight.

POST 22Original post

Jumper, are those two sets of weights supposed to be without fluids and with fluids? Or is it supposed to be a range based on options?
