Arrow What does yours weigh?

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?

mihink is infamous around these parts
All stock? Any aftermarket wheels? Full tank of fuel? Car seems heavy based on the OEM specs. Haven't weighed mine though

At the risk of stating the obvious, the car weighs what it weighs. What is more important, short of stripping absolute weight out of it, is how the right front + left rear compares to the left front + right rear. This is termed Corner Balancing. You will note that your LR/RF is 20+kg greater than the RR/LF. This is only significant if you are tracking your car (and even then I'm not sure it's a very significant differential in your case) but at an extreme think of it kind of like you're sitting in a chair and one leg is shorter than the rest. Not the kind of balance you're looking for. Now, if you want to get balanced, you would have to change out your shocks to some adjustable coilovers that can be independently adjusted to compensate. Bilstein Damptronics are popular and there are others as well. Perhaps you know all this; if not, welcome to the slippery slope......Best,
