GT86 could be low spec base, BRZ could be high base, or any number of factors. We need actual specs/trims/options/etc for both cars before we will have a clue. They will weight exactly the same if optioned the same except for the slight difference in bumper and side panel weights (the stupid chrome strip instead of whatever the scion has.. maybe the same stupid chrome strip for all we know, it's unlikely that it will have the 86 design IMO).
Oh and the exhaust weight difference, assuming they really are different once the car hits production.
