I keep hearing about the carbureted CSL being some kind of Ultralight variation of the CSL.
It is my experience that the carbureted and the injected CSL (both without options or city pack) are within a few pounds of one another, probably about 20 pounds max. for the same level of equipment. A carbureted CSL could certainly be heavier as an basic injected model if one ordered it the power steering or air conditioning.
Another aspect is the weight/power ratio: The basic injected CSL has 20 horsepower more than the carbureted CSL which is about 11% more. This equates prorated to weight to a ca.280 pounds advantage over the carb CSL!
