According to the official Porshce USA website, the curb weights are as follows, all cars with manual gearboxes

Boxster 987 S - 3,131 lbs.
997 S coupe - 3,131 lbs. (odd coinicidence)
996 Cabriolet - 3,020 lbs.

The boxster is roughly the same weight as the only other mid engine Porsche: The Carrera GT!
imagine the Boxster with 600+ Horsepower!

These came from the official Porsche website? If thats the case, then they added a ton of bulk to the 987S as the base 986S weighs 2,911lbs according to my owners manual. Also, the figures provided for the 911's don't coincide with figures I've seen for in other sources. Mmmmm...perhaps Porsche is being a little deceptive?
