I think from the way their article was written that they are thinking about autocross only. Someone worried about pulling the spare out, changing to a lighter battery and changing exhaust from the headers back is not thinking about this car as a daily driver. This car with a weight drop like they are suggesting, with track set up suspension and wide sticky tires will be sweet. Autocrossers are not interested in drifting the tail out all the time.
Just my observation.
