This is the same boat I'd be in. Except I've had a 2000 GT-S just before my Evo, and I clearly remember that while the VVTL-i and revving was fun, it just lacked power to pull itself out of certain turns and then you had the straights...

I'd come to that I would buy a BRZ for a daily beater and just finally go all out on a punishing track suspension for my Evo. If this car were Turbo/SC, I'd be all aboard. But that looks like won't come for a few years, and it will then face some heavy competition from the new WRX that's being designed from the ground up as a focused and lighter performance car. Plus, who knows what else will surface.

I say a short silent prayer every night for Toyota to wake up and make a proper $40k MKV Supra though... lol.
