There are other cars in similar situations (soltice vs. sky; wrx vs 9-2x aero; etc) but I don't believe they are as mechanically similar as the FRS and BRZ. It would be tough to write the rule properly without creating other loop holes. If you think you can craft the proper rule, draft it and send it to the SAC - but the idea of a "one-off" rule has already been shot down.
In the end, there have been plenty of cars historically that were competitive in their original Street class, only to be buried in a tougher class a year or two down the road. This is essentially what happened to the BRZ owners, and I'm sorry. FRS owners got "lucky" I guess.
So if you own a BRZ and want to be competitive, I think your options are: trade your BRZ for a FRS, make the jump to STX, or get adopted by the elusive "insanely fast driver's planet" and return to earth as an alien.

Winrar, don't forget muscle cars and shared platforms, can I put Corvette suspension on my Caddy in stock class? F150 springs on my Mustang? Use a Trans-am tranny and rear end for my Camaro?

Actually quite a few sub 15lb 17x7 options, just ctrl+f "17x7.0" in the wheel directory thread. Was going to mention Wedsports but doesn't look like they make a good 17x7.

I don't think there's anything 'better' than an RPF1, only different and slightly more expensive on the $/weight scale. Or cheaper if you're willing to sacrifice a pound or two.
