Regarding weight: Randy Leffingwell's book says a 1977 911S weighs 2470 pounds, and a 1982 SC weighs 2560 pounds. Not sure that qualifies as "weighing a lot less", but it is less. Or course, options add weight, and removing said options reduces weight, so your mileage may vary. My SC with AC removed and a backdated heater (similar to a mid year) weighs (wait for it) 2480 pounds with 1/4 tank of gas with trunk and interior emptied.
Poster's point is valid on weight being less, and the mid-years have a certain narrow hipped cool about them. I had a 77 with a 3.2 as my first car. Liked it alot.
Cheers
