This is pretty much it.
We have a Crown Vic Police Interceptor we call the "PAX Interceptor" my buddy bought for about $2k. Automatic, reliable as hell. Crap tires and they just hoon around in it. Sometimes it has 3-4 drivers per event and they write their times on the hood in sharpie.
We had a highly modified Bugeye WRX with an EJ207 and all the good stuff... but on Tiger Paws or something for kicks.
Very much reminds me of back in the day with my own WRX I was running all seasons or more regular summer tires. Went for fun and not really times. It was in STX back then, then moved to STH, but wasn't even on coilovers, but just STI springs.
End of the day, we all do this for fun, but it's super easy to get caught up in being overly competitive. You do make a good point on going to street touring and then you find out people are running $5k coilovers, NVH is through the roof with poly bushings or solid camber plates, camber is -4 or more and not really daily driver friendly.
