Actually my 2006 Boxster S only weighs 2965 pounds compared to the 2855 pounds of my 2000 Boxster S.

Add to that the fact that my 987S has the optional sport seats and the curb weight drops to 2945 pounds.

So all in all only a 90 pound increase in weight but with 30 more horsepower, a stiffer chassis and better suspension.

Far from 200-300 pounds...

The only thing I miss about my old 986S was the steering feel. The 987S has great feel, but not as communicative as the old one.
