More like 2700. And the previous person compared a series V (heavier) to a 12a car (less power, but lighter.)

The GSL-SE is as quick as or quicker than any stock NA FC except maybe the GTUs. (yeah, I've seen stats that go both ways...)

p.s. the stock curb weight on MY FC is 3003 lbs. That's a series IV convertible.

Convertible's always weigh more than the normal hardtop/coupe version of a car. They have to add weight (parts) to strengthen the chassis to reduce flex because of the missing pillars which really do make a BIG difference. One of my biggest reasons why I don't like convertibles (nearly any...although there are a few soft spots .
