Cool Weighed the 996TT...diet is working
My best calculations, the car weighs < 3250lbs.
The fuel in the tank weighs > 50lbs, so the diet has shed
close to 250lbs from stock.
Real satisfied, and about 50lbs to go...hopefully from the buttocks.

SilverShark, do you want to trade Cat Scale trading cards? I have collector card #41. Its so sweet, and glossy too. Because of you I went and got weighed. I looked up Pilot Travel Center and found one about 2.5 miles from me. The scales are open 24 hours.

250lbs is an impressive drop from stock....that equates to one heck of a mod to say the least.

I did not own the car when stock, I bought the car with some mods.
Wished I had actual starting weight as reference.
