So whats the lowest you could go? I don't think you could break 2000 lbs ? but I am not sure.

SO you can have....

1. a ~300 HP 944 weighing ~3000 lbs ~10 lbs/hp.

or

2. ~150 HP .... ~2000lb 944..... ~ 13.3 lbs/hp


Which one would be more fun?
It depends on how you define "fun". Option #1 will optimize acceleration while option #2 will optimize handling. And Rammstien's option will optimize both. For example: my 911 is heavy but has a superior hp/weight ratio and feels like a tidelwave hurtling me forward at lightspeed when she hits 4000 rpms. But my 944 feels far more nimble and responds to my commands with instant response - almost like she can read my mind and obeys before I give the command. Given the choice, I'll take BOTH !!
