I hear you there. My super sentra puts down 400+WTQ on high boost and it is a handful when traction is actually available. The Helical diff keeps you on your toes. It is a lot of fun though on the track or in a twisty canyon. The car handles well, only understeers under power, and on only 10psi is more car than I bargained for in the twisties. Straight line speed is awesome.
The BRZ is my replacement to the Super Sentra though. Something I can have fun with, without breaking every speed limit in 3 seconds. I feel like overpowered FWD are very fun, but like any car, it loses it's fun when you feel you must hold it back too much.
