In that regard, isn't th brz/frz heavier than the Z? Am i missing something?

Just by going off of this, you obviously never drove a miata, or Mini cooper S

Even though those cars don't have high HP, they deliver a different feel, and a sporty one at that.

They feel quick and nimble and i am willing to bet the BRZ feels the same way.

Those cars don't need HP for fun, they offer a unique experience imo.
