...as a member of the BMW owners club (my daily driver is a BMW 630) this month's Straight Six magazine features the M3CSL and the engineers discussing how they achieved its super light weight...

The car weighs 1385kg which I believe is heavier than a bog standard 996!

Places this fantastic and underrated Porsche into perspective and also sticks one in the eye of all the 996 critic's who raised a rumpus about Porsche having the audacity of introducing a new model that was lighter,stiffer and faster!
 
All true, I guess it is easier to make a 2+2 sports car light weight than to start of with a family 4 seater and make it light. I have thought before that the light weight of the standard 996 C2 is often overlooked. The C2 and the CSL are both great cars, but in very different ways.
