Affordable performance? Sorry but those words do not mix.

As recently as 2016 GM cared about weight. The 6th Gen Camaro was intentionally made smaller and lighter. Lotus cares about weight and they make some reputable sports cars. Carbon fiber bits are used on top trim levels for weight reduction, carbon wheels to reduce unsprung mass. Come on you own some badass muscle cars you know this stuff. Weight can be masked today better than ever but any performance variant is better with less of it.
For some a BRZ offers plenty of performance and is very affordable. You listed the top trim level of the muscle cars and they are expensive. If you're waiting for a performance EV that will beat what you currently have it already exists, the Tesla Model S Plaid.
