10% heavier = no dice. A 3000lb BRZ/FR-S is pointless. If I wanted a 3000+lb car that went faster in a straight line I'd buy a Mustang or something else. I don't see what the fascination is with trying to get the FT to go straight faster.

Give me a Supercharged FA25 making 280-300hp that's at most 50-75lbs heavier.
