I have weight data from plenty of 996 GT3, as the car is quite popular on the SCCA Solo program. Super Stock cars (no modifications allowed other than mufflers and wheels) hit the scales at 3,000 lbs - 3,050 lbs. This is on calibrated electronic scales, with some fuel in them.
My car hits the scale at 2,851 lbs with no gas, full interior , 10"/12" wheels with 285/335 tires and FabSpeed muffler bypass pipes.
AWE's 997 GT3 with no gas would hit the scales at 3,195 lbs. That's a bit heavy, but a lot of aftermarket parts are already available to get that weight down.
My expectation is that the US 997 GT3 RS with no gas will come at around 3,130 lbs, 3,240 lbs with a full gas tank.
With $20k on lightweight 18" wheels, Carbon seats, mufflers bypass pipes (hopefully from FabSpeed), PCCB, the US RS could come down to 3,000 lbs with a minimum fuel load (1/8th of a full tank). A 3,000 lbs 911 with 415Hp has to be fun.
I still don't justify how the most profitable auto maker in this planet can't afford to install lighweight body parts, while GM with all its financial difficulties has carbon body pieces on the so much cheaper Z06.
