The 3.8, beast of angine, but way too heavy, chassis just not up to it, etc. Probably why they did away with the "Track" model in '14 and called it slimmed it to RSpec and GT. in '15 slimmed it further with base, Rspec and Ultimate. There is no "Track" model for this car. Its too heavy, too sloppy, to soft, etc. Its a Grand Touring platform. If it held the engine specs it does now and lost 400 pounds, throw some coilovers, better tranny, etc, itd be a FANTASTIC sports car. Its not, and if it did have all that with magnesium, carbon fiber, etc its $70K.

errr, a turbo i4 isn't that much lighter than a v6...
'14 2.0T: 3455 lbs
'14 3.8: 3503 lbs.
Yeah, that extra 50 lbs really kills the car..
