360CS is 1180kg Dry Weight, not the Kerb Weight, so it excludes;
  • Petrol (normally assumed to be half a tank, full tank is 95 litres)
  • Engine Oil (approx 10 litres)
  • Coolant
  • Brake Fluid
  • Window Washer Fluid
  • Power Steering fluid
  • Drivers Weight (normally assumed to be 75kg's)nd
It also assumes the 360CS edition that was specified at factory with non cost Plexi-glass side windows and no stereo. Add in another +30kg's for these on most of cs's out there!

Would you say that the CS is less streetable than the regular 360? I know that the CS is set up for track but is it just as good on the street?

it's fine if a bit stiffer on poor surfaces. main problems are speed bumps and off camber entrances to garages , driveways etc

Yes. It's a track car set-up for the street.

It's a screamer in more than one way!
