I do; from a pricing standpoint. So is the v6 stang, WRX, Focus ST, and a few others. Likely the reason MOST of these comparison threads exist isn't because the cars are similar from a performance standpoint. It's because given that nearly everyone on this forum obviously has a soft spot for lightweight sports coupes, they want to see whether the differences between these vehicles are substantial enough to effect their decision to purchase AND whether or not those differences can be culled via the aftermarket. Taking a fast car that handles decently and making it handle well (regardless of weight) is typically easier and less costly than taking a decent car that handles well and making it fast (N/A).
Also Zdan I never said you DIDN'T have a point, I just said you're overly critical when it comes to weight. It's to the point where you seem to make a HUGE deal out of anything that weighs in excess of 3000lbs, without considering the practicality that comes with a larger vehicle. Like comfortable seating for 4-5 people. In addition to this if you've got a dedicated track vehicle then chances are you'll lighten it substantially ANYWAY; so that vehicle that started at lets say 3300lbs might end up being under 3k once you get rid of the glass, non-aluminum panels, spare (if you have one), grab lighter rims, passenger and rear seats and every other component that exists solely for creature comfort.
