These are dry weights too - unless I am greatly mistaken, as are all the weights in the Porsche red book. A G50 Carrera dry or book weight is 1250kg but when you weigh one with some fuel (2/3 of a tank), 11 litres of oil, some washer fluid and a couple of options like sunroof and rear wiper it actually weighs 1320kg. By the same logic a realistic weight for a C2 without driver is probably 1400+kg or about 3100lbs. It is truly incredible how much weight the later Carreras and 964 put on - which is why I said it is hard to make them feel really light, like an early car.
