Heres a list, or more of a work in progress, of Boxster weight reductions. I can claim credit for none of these. I simply compiled the list from posts here by people like Kiyakuke who were kind enough to share weight reduction results. A lot of credit goes to the 6 Speed Forum as well. If you see anything out of place let me know, I hear not everything on the internet is true so you never know. I also know that there is at least another 600lbs out there somewhere
