Common misconception. In reality, the 3.0L SC and 3.2L Carrera both weigh about 2800lbs. Some of the RS models are a different story, but they are so rare and valuable you could probably buy 20 951s (or a 911GT2) for the cost of one of them. The only non R/RS 911s to weigh anywhere near 2100lbs are the short wheelbase cars from the late 60s..
