Lol. This reminds me of when I bought my 350Z in 2006. When that car came out, it got generally good reviews but when people wanted to hate on it, they'd talk about how heavy it was at 3300 lbs or so. That was THE go to detraction for that car for about 5 years. Then....that talk just kinda tailed off as 3300 lbs went from being "kinda heavy" to "hmm around average."
Don't get me wrong, people still hated on that car all the time (it's old, it's ugly, it's not that fast etc) but people...just kinda stopped talking about its weight. Now 3300lbs is in the realm of "pretty good."
I strongly suspect that five years from now, when people lob insults at the F87 M2C, they won't be mentioning it's weight as 3600 lbs will inevitably go from "a little heavy" to "below average"
