Not only that, even if the curb weight is marginally less than a PP GT, the difference in where the weight differs (i.e. unsprung weight) is enormous between the two!

I think the quoted weight is the base weight. The magazine did not weigh it and they didn't mention as tested. I would bet that is the advertised weight and options add to that. Highly unlikely that they shaved that much additional weight by adding CF to the front (meaning above the weight lost in the wheels) while adding track capable parts and additional coolers and MR.
