I totally agree with you, perhaps I'm biased just because that's not what
I'm looking for in this car.
However, that would be a monster, even @ 2800lbs, 300AWHP 6MT with the trick STi 6Spd and diffs. It would be a beast, and as you pointed out, it'd have the price tag to go with it. It might undercut the STi by a bit, but it's still going to be mid $30s.
I think overall we're on the same page.
