It's in the owner's manual...last few pages I think. That's where the acronym RTFM comes from I believe.

but seriously OP, after you do eventually RTFM, if you are still concerned about specifics, keep in mind that the printed weights are mostly for "general" comparison and are probably based on an exact specific configuration that most likely differs from yours. even a tank of gas can add 50+ lbs so who knows really what the hell was on the car that provided the "official" weight. you're best bet is to take it to a pro shop and get it weighed.

FWIW, mine is about 3320 with 3/4 gas. this includes GT2 seats/harnesses/roll bar (but gets rid of the stock seat behemoths and subwoof, for a net gain of under 10lbs) and bilsteins which i would imagine are same as, if not lighter than stock.

most decently optioned 997s with fuel are going to be in the 3300-3400 lb range. My RS is under 3100 with a full tank, but it's a no option car with washer delete, light wheels, light exhaust, light seats, battery, brakes, etc.

If you pull into a weigh station when it's closed you can weigh your car - at least in Oregon.

Then go weigh the car. I've weighed various cars over the years most often at a truck stop with scales, but once at an ice plant that advertised car weighing on a Saturday.

At truck stop scales I always pick a slow time and go in and work it out with the attendant. Biggest problem is the speaker/microphone at the scale is way too high so work out hand signals or some way to know the weight has been obtained.
