Weighed - Page 2

I would take a weighbridge reading with a pinch of salt.

A couple of years ago I tried to find out about calibration and accuracy of these. The nearest thing I could find was that the rounding, usually 10 or 20kg, was referred to as a "division" and that the weighbridge is within 3 divisions. For HGV's they allow +\-50kg before taking you off the road. Can be +\-150kg if one axle weighed at a time.

I'll add I'm no expert, but I fitted the cage...

It's not filled with lead, honest!

As far as I am aware these are the weights and although you ask for the 997's weight it is probably fairer to compare the 996 as they were produced in the same era.

So are we to assume these are also the weights by the book and not accurate when it comes to actually weighing the car? Be interested to know acutal weight of one on the scales like the RS with a cage etc

My CSL with cage + over half tank was c/weighted at 1385kg and more has been shed since.

You haven't been stripping all of the paint off inside and grinding all the metal panels down to bare, wafer thin sheet, have you ?
