Yes for look at robispec car he has taken off a crap load of weight then bolted a fat steel plate in the trunk where the spare tire use to be. My car I just rasied the front slightly higher in the front (the poor man's fix) it keeps the car from kicking out the back end and it really works a lot. The downside for autocross the front end becomes a lot more pushy but on the track mine will hold a lot more speed in a corner. It's give and take in all honesty to have a car on one setup that is really good at both requires a much more expensive car or a much larger modding budget then I have.

Introduced myself on the main newcomer link for BRZs but thought I would add it to this thread so the local (Tucson) FRS/BRZ owners would see. I bought a preowned BRZ WRB Limited 6 MT almost 3 months ago. Have added the JDM exhaust tips and just got the Kicker subwoofer from the local dealer last week.

haha yes very true, the conversation can go on for hours. but you are right though, all that weight loss is minimal until u actually add some power.
