Couple things, my guess is that the mag you're referencing did not cite the unladen weight of the 987S, a definition of which I found as:

The weight of the vehicle inclusive of the weight of water, fuel or accumulators used for the purpose of the supply of power for its propulsion and of loose tools, but exclusive of the weight of any other load or of a person.

The second being that there was a weight gain between 2000 and 2004 for the 986 (not surprising when considering the model evolution) and obviously, there was a weight gain from 986-987, with the point being that the difference between 2000 and 2005 was incremental.
