Think about companies that build "off the shelf" race cars. M3 lightweight, M3 CSL, cobra R, boss Laguna Seca. Functional aero or weight reduction. That would be a "special edition" I would like to see

not everyone wants to drive a race car dude
some people like to drive a fun car, and maybe have a nice(er) interior to look at.
it's one thing to like a style of car. but don't go around shitting on other people just because the added around 30lbs to their car.
let's put it in perspective. If i were to go out and buy full groceries for my family right now, it'd all accumulate to around 60-80lbs and the car doesn't even flinch.
furthermore, look waaaaaaaaay back to when we first got the specs on the twins. they were designed to be well-balanced, fun cars, that could also be practical(i.e. CARRY THINGS) the interior was laid out so it could accommodate 4 full-size tires and rims, a tool box, and a jack. or for those who aren't track day fanatics it was built to accommodate 2 full sized golf bags, or a bike.
to put it bluntly,
30lbs AIN'T SHIT TO THIS CAR!
