Tcoat,
While I do get your point here, I have to add:
There is always this "right price" for things that a large chunk of society is willing to pay. So it's not necessarily completely arbitrary.
The sad fact is as stated previously here, a lot of the people who have the purchasing means for sports cars do not actually use said sports cars as they were meant to be used. A lot of 911 GT3 RS are locked up in a garage.
We are a very small percent of buyers that are really interested in buying cars for fun and I feel we are at risk of losing this segment of cars all together.
Yes for me, definitely I had in mind that the BRZ is much lighter than say a Mustang GT350 and I always had in mind that consumables will be much cheaper if I drive the car hard. Heck I even keep this in mind when I buy a regular car. My brother bought a heavy luxury car and he is now complaining on how often he has to replace the tires.
Long story short, reducing weight lowers consumable costs which makes real driver enthusiasts happy but this might not be the market trend right now because regular consumers are not necessarily aware of this.
