What does yours weigh?

[Gibbo205]

Hi there


Well this is a question to those of you who have had your cars GEO setup or been on a weighbridge, what did it weigh?

Here is mine:-


Thats a 2006 model 997.1 C2S with ceramics which help reduce weight, but its got two electric seats, sunroof which all adds to weight.

So is mine podgy, there about or on the light side. What about others, what does yours weigh?

The 997 GT3 RS is 1375kg, so yours isn't too heavy. My dads 996 Carrera is said to be 1340kg.

Really, is the RS not the lightweight GT3 as well?

Am sure a lot of weight could be removed from my car too, anyone wanna swap an electric passenger side seat for a manual adjust or are the electric seats in the 911 not that heavy?

My road legal 944 S2 race car weighs 1130 Kg with 4 gallons of fuel.

[dom9]

My trackday 996 is around 1320kg at the moment, from the scales at the geo setup...

I would say the OP's car is not too heavy. I don't have a weight reading for my 996C4S; the official porsche figure is 1470 kg; but when the car was first registered, it was weighed (this is the basis for the road tax calculation where I live) and the measured weight, 1570 kg, is printed on the subsequent ownership papers. So I'm guessing Porsche weigh their cars with zero accessories/options, and minimal fluids.

I am surprised at this!

How much fuel?

Hi

I was surprised at it too ! But the scales can not lie.

Full of fuel so there is roughly 45KG of fuel I think as the fuel tank is 65L ? (I should know as I fill it every 3 days !!)

My 964 (race car) felt quite lardy to drive and came in at just over 1300kg with me in it and about 1/4 tank of fuel, so around 1200kgs without a driver.

Morning - The RS isn't far removed from the standard GT3 as it has the wide-body of the 4 wheel drive cars so it can have a wider track, and thereby negating some (most) of the weight saving measures!

[Flook]

Mine is a sunroof 993 C2 - used for road (as opposed to track!)

I'm trying very hard not to become fixated by weight reduction, and so far have restricted myself to:

aircon removal (didn't really work anyway)
Lightweight flywheel & clutch
100 cell cats & RSR mufflers

car now weighs 1340 kgs (with 3/4 tank of fuel & no driver)

...mmm might need some lightweight seats...must...resist...must...

RHD 75L & LHD 95L ... i think.

[s_mcneil]

Weights quoted are very basic spec, ie no Bose or electric seats, also quoted as Kerb weight which is with fluids.

Full tank of fuel should weigh around 45Kg on a 996
Fuel tank capacity = 64Litres
Petrol Density at 60 degree F = 737.22 kg per cubic meter
One cubic meter = 1000 liters
Petrol weight for 1Litre = 0.711kg (at 60 deg F)
Therefore full tank weighs 45.5kg

My 996.2 C2 weighed in at exactly 1400Kg with carbon buckets and no bose etc etc. Should have been 1345Kg...

RHD 75L & LHD 95L ... i think.

I think the RHD 996 GT3 is 65lt due to it being the C4 body shell!

[fioran0]

LHD GT3 large fuel tank option is 90L. Not fitted as standard though and not available for US cars at all.
Regular tank is 64L I believe.

Isn't 1 litre = to 1KG. 65L = 65KG?

Ok.. i get 80+ litres in my LHD Austrian car at fill ups when the gauge is low, which equates to £120. bill!! lol

[sportsandclassic]

Hi,

1 litre of petrol is 0.7kg and am sure GT3 RHD has 65L tank... will check this out.
