650!?!?!?!? that seems really heavy.


the 3.4L i just popped in my car weighed in at 424 lb fully dressed EXCLUDING the ac compressor, which i imagine would be another 20lb or so.

the 5-speed transmission weighed in at 91 lb

A 3.2 engine weighs almost exactly 450lbs fully dressed with A/C compressor.

The Bentley manual says a little more if I did the kilo- lbs. conversion right. Maybe a wet vs. dry variance & I have read 150-175 for 6-speed transaxle.

What does the muffler/exhaust weigh? some are quite heavy, the boxster one looks big.
