F40, 430C, GT, 993TT - Weigh in!

Hey DJ,

I didn't know what section to post this in. Feel free to move it if you want.

Today we had some fun with our digital scales. There is a lot of debate on FChat about the true weight of the US-spec F40 vs the Euro-spec and since we had a real Euro car at our disposal we decided to get an accurate weight. While we were at it we couldn't resist weighing a couple of other cool cars.

Final result - the Euro F40 would be approx 2620lbs with a dry tank. That is light!

Enjoy

Rob

Imagine how your GT would feel if you removed 600lbs

That is a quality thread. Thanks for sharing your findings. Is there a difference in weight between a euro spec and US spec F40?
