I'm familiar with the stripped down "body in white", but that is not what I was looking for.

I do mean something in the vein of the S2000 CR or 911 RS America. A production car that is street legal, but that you could take to the track or autocross course and be very competitive right out of the box.

This comes out of the fact that the original weight released for the car was around 2600 lbs, and now it looks like it will actually be almost 2800 lbs when it lands here in the US.

If they were to get rid of a lot of those frilly things that don't help with going fast, and put that money towards things that do, then I think that the BRZ/FR-S would be much more appealing to those of us that want to compete in the car.

IMO, I doubt that Subaru especially would do something like this because they really do not support weekend racers at all, and that is what I would like to see change most of all.
