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 finished reading a back issue of excellence where they compare the Cayman 2.7 against the Carrera RS. Cayman 2.7 official weight is 2845. They put the car in the article on a scale and it came in at over 3100 pounds. Common: we're talking 300lbs difference here. Any insight on this. Is this the case with all porsche cars? I can understand that the official weight was for a dry car but the difference is to large to justify that.
Their scales were off, my Cayman S fully loaded and a 1/2 tank of gas weighed in at something like 3,024 lbs on the SCCA certified scales at HPT. Or there was a dead body in the trunk... (see later letter to editor in follow up issue)
I have not weighed my 2.7 yet, but I paid for my car with a treasurer's check at an out of state dealer so I was given the MCO which is the title-like document that you need to register a new car at the DMV. It had the official shipping weight from Porsche on my car at 2855 with my particular options. I also read the article but find it hard to believe. When I get a chance to weigh my car I will report back.
I had my car corner balanced recently and the weight added up to 3,278 with an empty car and 3/4 tank of fuel. This is for a CS with 6 speed, sport seats, 19" CS wheels and Bose .
Don't you think that's a bit more than it should be?
I think gas is the main difference. C'est la vie. Most cars come in over their curb weights.
Assuming your talking about a 73 CarreraRS the light weight version was 2100 +/ - 100 lbs w/all fluids.
Oops! Yes, I forgot that we added 175 lbs. of weight to the car when we corner balanced it. That would leave the curb weight at 3,103 with the fuel and options as mentioned above.
jonathan: Do you have adjustable spring perches for corner balancing? If not, how was the car corner balanced? Would you mind providing the corner weights? I only weighed the corners of mine and got the following without driver: LF 733; RF 691; LR 814; RR 849 (total = 3087 with full tank). With 171# driver: LF 791; RF 711; LR 880; RR 876.
Bilstein PSS9 damptronic suspension. LF 794lb, RF 738lb, LR 899lb, RR 847lb. Weights include 175lb driver.
