996 weights

[Mario149]

Apologies, this probably available elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it or access it (not a porsche club member).

I'm trying to find out the weights of different facelift 996 911s, but I can't seem to find out consistent answers. So far I have:

C2 1345kg
C2 Cab ????
C4 1425kg
C4 Cab 1485kg
C4S 1415kg
C4S Cab ????

Are these correct? I'm particularly interested in the 'C2 Cab' and 'C4S' weights. Anyone got anything more accurate? I know there are different 'ways' of measuring the weight of a car depending on what fluids/people are in it, but using the C2 as a baseline (that figure is available everywhere), I'm looking for figures measured the same way.

Cheers,

M

Hi Marco. May I ask why you want to know this?????

 

[Mario149]

thanks for the replies guys.

little bit embarrassed to explain why i want them! part of it is that i'm a bit (lot) of a geek and was curious given that the handbook for my car has 0-100km/h as 5s for all flavours of facelift 996 911s, when clearly this cannot be the case.

also, i realised the other day that i miss having a convertible car loads, so have been toying with the idea of switching to a 996.2 C2 cab from my C4S in 6 months to a year's time. given that power/weight ratio is a solid indicator of straight line oomph (ignoring traction issues associated with standing starts) i thought the switch might have the added bonuses of giving me the feel of a slightly more powerful car (given the weight drop) and maybe something that was a tad more tail happy under power. i'd be happy to to take the hit in looks (C4S is my fave) and in absolute cornering/braking performance to have the wind in my hair.

i also realised i could prob make the change without forking out (very much extra) money as the values of the 2 cars are comparable, and consumables for the C2s are cheaper.

does this all make sense or sound a bit silly?
