If you take a stock 986, and used some of the same principles, as you said one can lighten it themselves. Change the seats, get the lightest wheels possible, change the exhaust, run with only a half tank of gas and you have already knocked some weight off using some of their same philosophies, as you said their reduction numbers are not eye popping. Speaking for myself, losing some body mass would be a good way to reduce the vehicle weight and keep my femoral condyles from making new tracks in my tibial condyles, see it every day and you would want to avoid it too....
