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.

Not disputing any of that and not really sure how my simple message of "some people can and do spend the money to track heavy cars" managed to get twisted into some justification of lighter cars.
It's like saying that some people prefer an AT and then getting subjected to massive reams of unrequired justification as to why others prefer MT.
