Not everybody is worried about weight. That is well proven by sales numbers. Personal preferences vary but that does not make the others wrong.

Just because sales numbers are fine doesn't mean no one wants a lighter car. If you could get a 992 and there was a free option for -200lbs, which would get the most sales? I can assure you no one shops for the heaviest sports car they can find. No one stops buying a 911 because it clicks over a particular curb weight. Hell it's hard to even find curb weights on cars half the time which has always been mind boggling to me.
This whole sales numbers argument bugs me. If you have no choice then how can sales numbers prove anything? Kind of like the new Supra. They claim that if there is enough demand they will offer a manual. Okay so how do they gauge demand? When someone goes to buy the car and asks for a manual and they say, sorry no manual and the guy buys the auto, what does that do to the data? Do they log in a system that someone asked for a manual? I seriously doubt it. In the end it's more profitable to only offer one option. Sorry.. I'm going off topic.
