A Cayman S '14 model is more than 300 pounds heavier comparing to a 86/BRZ '14 model. This is based on curb weight according to EC standards. Not the 150 pounds you mentioned. The only way to achieve a smaller weight difference is by cheating like measuring the car without fluids etc. Additionally, the tests I provided seem to be pretty much consistent. Similar figures were reported in other cases. Do your homework better next time.
