What is the actual weight on a 996 tt with the tip. transmission. I did the search thing and can't find it. Thanks

 

I weighed my 996TT with techart body, 6 speed, chromes and 1/4 tank of gas on an auto scale and it came in at 3522lbs if that helps.

 

Yes it helps. I think the autos are a little heavier. And I have Kinesis chrome K18r's which feel about the same as stock. Hey but I do have the Fabspeed exhaust which is lighter than stock...hehehe.

 

the auto trans IIRC weights about 80 lbs more. tips bone stock weigh in at over 3600 lbs.

 

Thanks, PorscheC4 I was trying to figure my trap speed to HP thing.

 

No prob........

 

My '01 tip was 3580 bone stock. '01 was the lightest year.

 

Thanks YoWils mine is an 02 how much did it gain?

 

how was your turkey?

 

It was O.K. a little moist, I like it dry/over cooked. How about yours?

 

ah it was ok, just tossed it in the fryer for awhile and was done with it. good for a couple more lbs. these cars are pigs and the extra serving of turkey doesn't help.

 

I think if you do a search, you'll find a discussion on the weight gain over the years (I recall seeing this discussion last year). Off hand, I think the post-01 models gain a glove box and some stereo upgrades (a bass unit in the back seat, I think?). Anyway, it's not a huge (<100 lb) gain.

The good news is with some effort, you can shed quite a bit of this weight. I've got mine down to 3360 on an empty tank . Not quite GT2 territory, but at least decent.
