I think you work for Novitec. Novitec is in Germany. Shelby says you are

I somehow doubt R&T put those cars on scales. The Mono's reported curb weight is what BAC claims to be the dry weight (remember, this is supposed to be with full tank!).
And the 296 GTB's curb is identical to Car and Driver's measured weight of the same car. Sounds good? I don't think so. The same cars rarely weight exactly the same, to the last kilogram.
Smells like they just copied C&D's homework.

Ofcourse they did, both are owned by the Hearst Magazines.

Oh, I wasn't aware. Good to know!

It explains on R&T and C&D have the exact same acceleration times for the 296. It's from the same test. It's also one extremely quick 296. It seems the carbon wheels on the 296 account for .2 seconds 0-200 over the forged wheels and the AF pack gives another .1 seconds. Non AF cars with forged wheels are weighing about 100 pounds more than the AF car in this test.

Personally, that .3 seconds is irrelevant to me so I'll take the forged wheels that look better to my eye along with a lifter.

It's also funny to see standard GTBs on carbon wheels in these magazine tests. As if there's anyone that specs their own cars with $30k option prone to damage without also getting the AF pack.

Yip, I'd have it exactly like that and wouldn't change a thing.

Unsure whether I like or dislike the contrasting colours.
