I'm using the urban dictionary to understand several expressions...
Leading evidence: 'Use urban dictionary' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use car' (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.

Suggestion
This wasn't quite what I envisioned when a local photographer asked if he could use my car to take a few pics of a model in a bikini.

I only cut weight where It wouldn't effect the use of the car.
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 recently looked up this info porsche 996 weight...is around 2950 pounds...c5 corvette...around 3100 pound......how this happened i mean a v8 vs v6?????
+1. I weighed My '99 C2 on the way to the track last summer and it's still >3000 lbs even after removing the rear seats, GT3 console delete, Lightweight battery, muffler delete and a couple other things I'm sure I"m forgetting.
Even with race seats, LWFW and lightweigt wheels I'm not sure I can get down to 2900 lbs without taking stuff out that really starts to compromise it's primary use as a street car.

Oh, forgot to mention...doesn't the OP's question still make sense? I mean, sure, we all know the 996 weighs more than than 2950 lbs, but isn't it likely that the Corvette is heavier than its advertised weight as well?
What was the weight?
My e46 M3 weighed in at 3230lbs. No sunroof, no backseats, lightweight battery and 1/4 gas...
I was just reading about the GT3 roof skin (no sunroof) and it's $250 at my dealer. Tempting (and yes i'm aware what's involved in install). A set of seats would save more weight however, and greatly improve the feel/experience. But then again, how much does the tequipment roll bar weigh...
I ask because this winter I am really looking to get some more headroom; 6'1" and helmet sucks.
I think it was 3048 with a full tank.
stock seats though, full leather car, CD changer, Xenon's, sunroof, etc. I only cut weight where It wouldn't effect the use of the car.
I suppose with an empty tank with race seats and I could claim 2900...I tend to weigh everything completely full of fuel though for consistancy.
I thought about the roof delete...couldn't justify it as I'm 5' nothing.
I would imagine a later model 996 is actually heavier than the C5. The C6 vette is lighter, shorter, wider than the 997, and has quite a bit more power.
Well that depends on what you want out of the car. They're better in many ways, and worse in many others. I prefer how Porsches feel, but as a Porsche fan it makes me feel odd that a 1997 Corvette makes the same power as a 2009 911S while weighing a good bit less. Of course the current C6 weighs less still, makes more than 430hp and is shorter than both the C5 and the 997. Good luck finding a 911 w/out a sunroof, and have to pay extra for that LSD as well. My WRX that cost <$30k new comes with 2 LSDs. :/
I'm a bit conflicted about Porsche, but since there are no viable alternatives for a rear engine rwd car, I'm stuck...
OMG you could get banned for saying that ... besides it feels all creapy and icky.....
think really hard... PORSCHE ...... There
you dont like Nascar do you?
(this should get some attention)
I've seen a claim that a Corvette engine weighs less than a Porsche H6. Of course, that was by some company that puts Corvette engines in the backs of 911s and I can't verify the claim. An aluminum small block is an amazingly light and compact engine for the power. People make fun of the OHV engineering but it's lighter and tighter than OHC.
well i still love my 996...but just that one can buy a 2006-2008 vette for around 35-40usd and with way more power and almost same wieght----still sounds good.........but as i said i love my 996 and will probably end up with SC and a 25-50 shot of NOS....====450HP.... a very nice sleeper..........
You want weight??? I'll give you WEIGHT!!!
This wasn't quite what I envisioned when a local photographer asked if he could use my car to take a few pics of a model in a bikini.
My car was never the same again!!
is rather light, or less heavy that other more complicated valve technology.
For instance: The Porsche's DOHC heads and such really add weight to the engine. The 2.5l 6 is around 400lbs, though I wouldn't expect even the 3.8l engine to weight much more. It is in some ways just more empty space in the same engine block as the smaller displacement versions.
Corvette designers/engineers were tasked if you can believe what you read in All Corvettes Are Red to remove weight. By some measure I think they succeeded.
Sincerely,
Macster.
