If they want to take it to a race track; sure, why not, but I'll make sure it's one with plenty of tight corners and not a lot of straights.
Some people who bought the car do drive the curvy roads to work, or they go out of their way to do so. It is a fast car, it's just not fast in a straight line, and the message that you're missing is that if you wanted to buy a car that went fast in a straight line as it's primary purpose, you bought the wrong car. Why would you go for a 4 cylinder boxer instead of something with a V8/Turbo V6/etc.?
Generally it's the jabronis trying to go fast in a straight line that wreck anyway.

This is true and to answer that I say why not have both. I'm not talking about a 200mph car here and I'm not talking about dragging the car nor am I talking about destroying its handling characteristics.
I actually came from a 600 whp 03 cobra and I also currently own a 66mm turbo MKIV Supra and I want this to be a car that is respected just as those are. And in my list of kills in the BRZ you will find a Z car and a Mustang GT with intake,exhaust and 3.73 gears.
But besides all that, the modifications ive done have only added to its handling(wider and better tires,adjustable coilovers, roll cage) and now I have the power to accelerate out of a turn even faster. Doesn't stop me from wanting to see what she can do in a straight line.
