And I'm fully aware that I am in a very small minority of potential buyers. To each their own, of course.

PS....But after all that, I'd kill for T-tops in either the Camaro or Mustang.  |
As you pointed out, you're in the minority in hating the amenities that help make cars more enjoyable to a lot of us though. You're describing the difference between a drag car and a daily driver. Sure, all of those bells and whistles are negatives to your ET and trap speed, but they make the grind of a daily commute in a busy metropolitan area so much more tolerable. I will NEVER buy a car without bluetooth again! What can it add, 2 lbs? It really does depend on what your main goal is for your vehicle. What gets me are the "car enthusiasts" who choose an automatic transmission, completely removing themselves from a true drivers experience, all because they are afraid to miss a shift at the track!
