It's been like this forever, though. There have always been cars marketed more for the sizzle than the steak. I just don't understand why they had to make it so huge and heavy. 3k lbs. is plenty heavy for a supposed sports car. Porsches have always been a little heavy in their respective classes but at least they have the excuse of building them like tanks.

928GT's were in the 3500lb range, with about 100 less HP.
Were they junk too?
My 928S is stripped down pretty good and it still tops 3000lbs with me in the drivers seat.
