Enjoy your golden child 86 though, can't believe you'd drive that 2800 lbs porker when 2300 lbs miatas exist. Someone should've told Nissan a 3800 lbs GTR would've been a PoS.

I don't find any modern BMWs "special" either. I've driven a lot of different cars on the street and at the track over the years, and yeah, weight does* matter, a lot, to me. Even my Cayman felt too heavy, at 3050 lb. C'mon, Porsche, you can do a *lot* better than that. BRZ is fine for me as my only car. If there were a fixed-roof coupe/hatch Miata I'd be there but as a convertible it's just a bit too impractical. BRZ is not super-light, but I'm fine with it. 3600+ lb. M2? No way, even if it were reasonably priced. Porsche and BMW could learn a *lot* from the FT86. If they were interested in making legit lighter-weight sports cars. Which clearly they are not...
