a wooping 4lb difference or .15% weight difference.

this 4 lb wont make a noticeable difference on the driving experience unless you take the car to the extrime.
4 pounds is still 4 pounds of "unnecessary" weight. I'm not trying to say FRS>BRZ because quite frankly, it's probably not even noticeable to 99% of us. When he mentioned creature comforts do not degrade driving performance, I thought to myself they definitely can. (Ex: A/C, luxury items, etc)

You're looking at it with the FRS plus shipping vs the BRZ without shipping. Plus for myself I got the FRS with a $1000 rebate, while BRZ was extremely hard to get and mark ups were everywhere.
