[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15622354, member: 68944"] The dry weight of a gt350r is probably around 3380-3425lbs. Not to beat a dead horse, but Europeans quote a dry weight, Americans quote a wet weight. Shipping a Ferrari f430 over from Italy to here leads to quite the binge eating. The second it lands on American shores, it gains 275lbs! We have too much fast food I guess. Also, that turbo Porsche is turbo. And geared long. And auto. Many drivers of manual 911 turbos (997) had a hard time trapping within 5mph of the autos. Take a 97 cobra. Put a single turbo and an auto in, and sort it out with a nice rear end. Get it tuned for 500whp. Surprisingly, it'll trap close to 130mph. Turbos, and autos are an acceleration formula that work very well. Not to mention, Porsche grossly under rates the turbo engines power output. 991 turbos are about 3550-3800lbs wet depending on options/cabrio etc. They are about 75lbs lighter than 997's from what I have read up and seen.
