I think the point is that you're shaving off hundreds of lbs and in the process attaining a better weight balance.
That or they're just aiming for bragging rights.
whatever the reason I have to admit, they earn plenty of cool points for engineering.
yeah, it's cool, but an overall better car? fuck no. a miata engine can be made to put down just as much, probably more power than a busa motor. and there's much better ways to shave weight, if nothing else it seems like shaving 150lbs in the front would make the car handle worse at higher speeds.
