Does anyone know the weight of a stock 1974 2.0? Brian Long's Porsche 914 & 914/6 book lists it as 2030 lbs which doesn't seem right.
Yesterday I took my car to the truck scales at the winery I work at and my car weighed in at 2040 lbs (the scales round up to the nearest 20lbs). Now, my car is far from stock. Some of the bigger weights savings I can think of without looking at the car are fiberglass bumpers, headers instead of heat exchangers, no radio/speakers/spare tire, jack, back pad,. Anyway, you get the point. With the 2030 lbs number in mind, I was expecting less, but is that a correct number? |

I would expect more as well I believe though that the reported factory weight is a "dry" weight. No oil or fuel.
