Yep, sad but true. Also car companies get alot of regulating these days as to what they are required to put in cars, air bags, safety things, emissions, chassis material etc. This all adds to weight in addition to the market competition.
personally I would enjoy a nice 2400 lb high revving inline 4 cylinder M3 like the e30, but I doubt that will ever happen again.
Someone else on this forum said it best when they were like "The e30 M3 was a track car with A/C and a radio thrown in to make it street legal. Every M3 since then has been a street car that just happens to perform really well at the track."
