Weight of a 2007 997 Turbo - with full tank of gas
I am curious as to what other peeps have weighed their car at.
I filled up the tank (seems it holds 17.5 gallons) and I was able to tip the scale at 3,460 lbs.
Calculating that a gallon of gasoline is about 6.3 lbs., that would put it at a dry curb weight of 3,350 lbs.
I don't have rear seats (those weight nothing), have a roll cage and have replaced my seats for GT3 seats.
Tons of mods to the car, but non that would affect weight that much. I do have a sun roof though, which I probably haven't opened in 9 years. LOL.
That's interesting, I thought these were closer to 3500lbs without a full tank of gas.
Making the switch from the stock seats to the GT3 manual seats, made a WORLD of a difference. I know I easily saved 100+ lbs. by making that switch. I probably gained a bit with the cage but I also don't have an exhaust (straight pipes).
Mine came in lighter at ~3350 lbs than the Porsche published base weight as well - I attributed that to having PCCB, LWSB and aerokit (no tail spoiler hydraulics/pump/etc.).
Another factor that I'm uncertain of is what is the tolerance/error on these weigh scales at only ~3500 lbs when they're designed (and calibrated?) to weigh fully loaded semis ?
