So I was considering buying this for an everyday beater, especially because I have to do a lot of traveling with my job. Only thing that turned me off from that now is that somehow despite being incredibly weak and underpowered, it doesn't get as great MPG as I hoped. I won't use it at all on the autox or closed circuit club track days because it'll humiliate itself, and I'll just go all out on my Evo 8 or just get a Boss, don't know.
If you want to see fanboys, look no further than this forum, which is turning into clubsi, which in the end is not going to turn out to be a good place for info as it'll be buried with nonsense from people who don't know a thing like has happened there and other sites. I'm indifferent. I've been called a Mustang fanboy, a GT-R fanboy, a WRX fanboy, and an Evo fanboy here. Which is it then, as I'm confused? Or am I fanboy just because I mention when people are wrong and point out differences in thought that speaks of the holy 86 as not thy god of "sporty handling cars".

Ok then why are you still here? I agree partly about clubsi but not for the reasons you state.
