I haven't yet found a spec for the weight of a fully dressed m96. I found a weight for an old aircooled 911 motor wet is 490lb. I am thinking the watercooled would weigh even more. so maybe I could even come out even with the swap, or only gain a little from the weight of the 8-speed automatic transmission(same number of gears as a 5-6speed, just different circuits,hydraulic&electric)so my boxster would then weigh the same as a normal tiptronic boxster, but have twice the thrust.
