900s got portly compared to a 99 because they added a fair amount of features, not because they added a ton of metal. In fact, on most c900s ('81+ cars?) some of the bits were changed to aluminum to offset the weight gain.
I would be shocked if a race-prepped 900 weighed 200lbs more than a similarly prepped 99. I'm betting the actual difference isn't even that much.
A 900 also brings better suspension and a roomier engine bay to the table, which I think is fairly positive, even offsetting of a small weight penalty.
