Sadly, I am beginning to feel a lot more this way about our cars

It's going on three years and TRD nor sti has done anything worthwhile to take this platform racing because of its bastardized roots is how I am beginning to paint this picture. TRD would rather focus on their rc-f and Subaru threw away the bastardized d4s engine in favor of their own developed ej into the gt300 car. Plus they went to town on their new wrx for 24h nurburgring and probably couldn't give two shits about the brz. Toyota also developed a gt86 car for the Asian Grand Prix but went v8 with that car. There's no hope in sight unfortunately.

In that regard, I don't think any of these basterdized cars ever produced any serious race cars from their developers. They were simply slapped together, sold to the masses, then forgotten about. 3000gt/stealth and eclipse/talon never were pushed into competitive racing by either Chrysler or Mitsubishi from what I recall. Yet Mitsubishi went all in on their Evo and Dodge/Chrysler introduced their Viper to go racing.

Metaphorically speaking, I couldn't marry a chick with baggage. I would love my own before I were to love some other dude's kids. No offense to anyone. But the same seems to hold true in the auto world too.
