I would sep the two issues, that is one of weight reduction and interior cheeziness.

IMHO, some interior pieces and the overall lack of content in a 911 is unacceptable in a car of this price. Just the lack of an acceptable sounds system in the car is appalling.

Moreover, no one could accuse a 911 Cab of being light. Fact is, the 911 has been getting heavier for decades. I believe they started out at just over 2000 lbs.

The point of the 911 getting hammered by other sports cars is certainly true. Hey, I would love to see the 911 Turbo run the AMLS GT1 class but with the cars in there now, that's not gonna happen.

To wit, at Sebring this year, the corvette C6R beat the Porsche-Penske PROTOTYPE racer.

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well now, what was the question?
