Well these people can post better lap times than many SC'ed or turbo cars. Not only with the weight difference, but it is easier to modify these ones and be competitive. So yes they are a few, but they make a difference!

How cool would it be to get a 2700 pound BRZ (with a carbon fiber roof) that also made 220hp? If they did that I would be trading in my car right now.

Like I said, I'm sure the tS is a special car, I just wish Subaru went the extra mile to distinguish the car from a BRZ with PP.
Exactly. But you know, it is Subaru and they will never focus too much on a jointly developed car. The best you can have with these cars is to get a bare-bones and start modifying it yourself.
