Only the BR-Z has a LSD not the FR-S?
I'd prefer mine without a big goofy wing. I'm pretty sure the car will be well worth the 25-27K asking price.

The reason for the skinny / med grade tires are to make the car more fun to drive. The tires make its limits more approachable during normal everyday use.

They could have easily put wider / stickier tires on the BR-Z / FR-S to help it achieve better #'s on the track but that wasn't their goal with the car. Their goal was to build an affordable RWD sports car which is fun to drive above all else.

If you're not much into driving and prefer better #'s you can easily switch to wider / stickier tires. If you're really concerned with 1/4 mile times you should buy a Mustang not that that's all it's good at.

The BR-Z / FR-S will probably turn out to be more fun to drive than most cars costing 2/3X times its price regardless of the numbers. So to argue the car isn't worth it's ~ 25K asking price is pretty weak.
