Since this discussion isn't about GM, we'll ignore that "P.S." and have that conversation in one of the GM-focused discussions

I've got no idea what the 911 cab actually weighs but according to Porsche's website it weighs the same as the coupe. 911: http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-carrera/featuresandspecs/?gtabindex=5

Who's right? You...or Porsche and PCN? Not being sarcastic. Just curious.
Didn't see too many other errors in their database. I've been shopping for new wheels and purusing their stats for a few weeks.
As for the 2008 535i being quicker than the 2007 550i, that is possible. They are different model years with totall different engines and gearing.

"I've got no idea what the 911 cab actually weighs but according to Porsche's website it weighs the same as the coupe." Fortunately, Porsche does a much better job building actual 911's than web sites. There are a number of errors in their on line specifications. And don't try too hard to "build your Porsche", it won't allow you to pick more than a fraction of their roughly 80+ options.
According to the complete 911 brochure I have, the 911S Cab weighs 187 lbs more than the 911S coupe (3,318 vs. 3,131). The base coupe and cab show nearly the same difference (3,263 vs. 3075). Those are "curb weights", listed on page 119 of the 2005 edition of the 997 Brochure. Tiptronic adds 88 lbs to all.

You gonna pay the $55K and suffer 5mpg for the 2009 CTS-V? Ouch. Better have a gas station in tow.
