Some of that 9 pounds is the under-body panels, which are now standard.

acetothermus · 12-29-2015, 02:14 PM

Was hoping for more info...but interesting on the weight gain. I wonder if the .4 seconds was due to conditions at the time of testing, or a difference in skills of the testers.

and the back up camera assembly.

9 lbs really isn't that much..... Don't eat a cheeseburger on track day.

tobin · 12-29-2015, 02:29 PM

2013 models just went up in value

benrz · 12-29-2015, 05:44 PM

HyperBlue value just went down.

I really want to see the kind of burgers you eat

I'm glad I went with the '13 lightweight model, instead of holding out for a '16.

xwd · 12-29-2015, 10:23 PM

Haha the 2013 lightweight model is the FR-S. 9lbs is nothing. The 0-60 time is probably within noise too.

I'm staring at my panels right now, maybe...I shouldn't install them.

Also, 9lbs, that's like 2 rear seats, and empty out the glove box.

Never mind the fact that we add over nine pounds in aftermarket goodies to the car...

Honestly 9 pounds doesn't mean much. 900 pounds...then you're talking some serious bloat.

Love all the haters in the comments section of that site...jeeze people on the internet are bitter

Honestly don't mind about the value of my HyperBlue that much as I'm planning to keep it for a good while and sentimental value is really good for me
