2910lb for manual, 2976 for PDK, straight from the horse's mouth. The standard Cayman is even lower, at 2888. There's your ~150 pounds. Or are you now saying Porsche is cheating, and Toyota isn't? |
Porsche IS cheating. If you go on a Porsche forum and look for threads where owners post weights for their cars, you'll notice not a single person's car comes much under 3000lbs wet when they put it on scales. I imagine the 2.7 car might have a chance at 2910lbs with a gallon or two missing from the fuel tank, manual transmission, 18" wheels, PCCBs, no PDCC, no PASM, no PSE, no parking sensors, basic seats, no heated seats.
However, as if they felt guilty about that, the engines seem to put out way more power than claimed, so at the end of the day it works out.

First guy has basically no options on a Boxster S, and is only barely under 3000lbs without a full tank of fuel. Definitely over 3000 with full fuel. Cayman might come a tiny bit under 3000 with full fuel.
