real world weight

Yes, 1308 kg with approx 1/4 of a tank of fuel, that would equate to 23 litres, ( 1 ltr fuel = 0.711kg) 23 x 0.711 = 16.353 kg, so 1308kg - 16.353 kg= 1291.647 kg
so weight of rs is just short of 1292 kg, add 80 kg driver making a grand total of 1372 Kg,
corner weights were FL 253, FR 267, RL 394 RR 394 making 1308 Kg.

They are quite lardy with the seatbelts, radio, axminster and deep pile wilton in place.
Still, some RS owners really seem to enjoy vacuuming it, from what I saw today.[

CS with cage and a/c (the shame!) and 1/2 a tank comes in at 1270kg, considering fully welded in cage rather than a half "meccano" cage isn't too bad.....Until you weigh a cup, I think Vic's car was close to 1100kg when we tried the scales at Brands.....impressive!

That extra 42bhp over the clubsport helps with all that weight []

Get a Gt2 if you want power....
These cars are all about handling finesse......You could spend a fortune modifying them, but at the end of the day Porsche knew what they were doing and devleoped the RS extensively over the regular C2 of the day.
As we know values of standard over modified cars in the market place reflect this.
Can you notice the extra 42bhp in the concours arena..........Do they fill in the score card quicker? []

So the RSR weighs in at 995Kg giving an impressive 320 bhp per tonne, that's more than a 959 at 315 / tonne
Actually forgot to deduct driver weight, I'm guessing 75Kg, this makes 920Kg giving around 346 bhp per tonne, now that's just unfair []
