Where did you get that figure as Porsche quotes a DIN weight of 1420kg for the RS (which is wet weight, but without the usual 75kg driver), with the GT3 model being 10kg heavier....?

This is the problem with quoted weights, you need to find out if it is dry / wet or with driver. Ferrari has a habit of quoting all their weights dry and without a driver to make it look good - a bit sneaky, as it wouldn't go very far without oils, water and fuel .

The most realistic weight figure is where the quote DIN curb weight, which is with everything bar the driver.

Also the weights quoted are always for the lightest model version (i.e. without aircon etc), which is where the 1385 figure for the CSL comes from.....
