The people clamoring for lightweight AWD cars seem to not understand that AWD hardware adds a significant amount of weight to any car. It's been like this since the beginning of time, not sure why it seems like a surprise.

Ok not the AWD, but don't your figures below assume (without basis) that the difference between the G82 6MT and the F82 DCT (both in the video) are only the transmission and the seats (since you concluded the difference is 152 lb between the F82 DCT vs the G82 ZCP with regular seats)?

We also know the weight delta of CF seats vs regular seats: 10kg, 22lb
Per the video, in LB
F82 DCT full tank: 3615
G82 6MT full tank + CF seats: 3689
G82 6MT full tank + regular seats: 3712
G82 ZCP + CF seats: 3745
G82 ZCP + regular seats: 3767
The most apples to apples comparison is the F82 DCT vs the G82 ZCP with regular seats. 152lb weight gain. This isn't good, but it's half of what I expected.
