Plenty of WRXs, STIs, OBXTs, GTIs, LGTs, etc. You missed my point. On the street, the performance increase is marginal because I still have to watch out for Johnny Lawman. I've driven cars that have some real balls (V10 M5, IS-F, 20 minutes on track in a 991 911 S). They were so quickly in the reckless zone due to the power that I was just expecting to get pulled over all the time - except for the 911 on the track, of course. Yea, they were fun, but it was really limited in where you could actually open them up. I'm already walking that line to where I probably look like an asshole when I'm having fun in my FR-S. If I start getting out to the track and get really into it, I could see doing an SC down the road, but I don't see the justification right now for my needs.
Edit: cost is the other factor. This was an unnecessary, toy purchase for me. For a toy car that I can only use part of the time -- when it is my wife and me or my daughter and me when the weather is decent, it starts becoming harder to justify if the cost goes up.... especially when an AWD WRX that comfortably seats 4 is available for the same (or maybe less) money.
