While the car is obviously still heavier than a real 987 spyder, it now weighs in at 3050 lbs which isn't too bad. It may also be down on power and torque over a spyder, but the mods do make it much more lively and the motor loves to rev.
The most notable changes are the tires and alignment. The turn in is truly extraordinary and the new rear sway bar really keeps the ass end in check. It still pales in comparison to a 718 spyder but that's a proper GT car with another decade and a half of development. So for what it is, the 987 is a very analog feeling sports car with phenomenal texture to the steering.
Compared to a spyder, it is also lacking an LSD, but I'm not sure the car makes enough power to really take advantage of it anyway. Regardless, it's absolute bliss to drive.
