I think that the bare 986 chassis is just heavy, due to all the bracing to make the car stiff. Convertibles are always heavier because of that.

It's funny, because all the suspension parts, wheels, and front engine mount are really nice, light aluminum pieces, so you'd think that the car would be so light. Nope!

right? Its a small damn car without a freaking roof. thing should be 2k lbs.

Time to suck it up and get to taking more junk out.

Would like to take out the SAI but my tune does not allow for it and I don't feel like paying for tune change
