The published curb weight of an NC is about 2500lbs depending on options. My leather package NB with a real roll bar, supercharger, butterfly brace, and a few other weight adding items and a half a tank of gas weighed 2396 on average on our scales and verified at several tracks and SCCA nationals scales. Sorry if I have to disagree with the 20lbs difference but I can assure you its more than that. The car also feel much heavier because of the suspension setup. That's nothing the aftermarket can't fix but they shouldn't have to. A stock NA or NB was incredibly fun to drive and would outhandle the NC's easily. Every car company has their hiccups, look at the R33 GTR's, but as long as they bring it back all will be fine.
