The RS is like 18lbs lighter than the stock GSR (when you subtract the weight of the sunroof from the GSR)
Road Race weight the HID's in at around 17-18 lbs. Seems like thats all the weight you're really saving, plus whatever extra gas was in that car.
The MR weights MORE than the GSR, even when you account for the 60lbs of junk in the trunk.
Seems like the weight reduction was hyped up a bit by

Not really.
It's about 88 lbs, between the RS and the MR. The major difference between the RS-MR and the GSR is the roof. giving it a lower center of gravity. All the other stuff is minor. The RS is sold to customize. Most people will replace the stock radio. And ABS doesn't help when trying to drift the car. You shouldn't be buying the car just beacuse of the weight. Its the overall picture.

2) most people that track the car don't replace the stock radio really.
3) i dont think anyone bought the RS to drift. At least i should hope not. But for the track, the ABS actually helps. Ask some people with the RS how they like not having ABS at the track.
4) i think, the overall picture is that the MR seems like a pretty good value still b/c you get the 6-speed, the forged wheels, and the VG, while still retaining the HIDs

It also does not have any sound deadening, trunk lining, power mirrors, windows.,
I believe it has an aluminum roof panel. Mitsu says it works out to be 150 lbs difference.
