IMHO the twins are more engaging and fun to drive on the street. The race track is a different matter, but "it costs money to go fast" and ceramic brake jobs and good tires are not cheap! I no longer need to impress anyone and I am so over $2000 routine services...
I had a 600HP talon AWD. Under many weather conditions it was almost undrivable on the streets. The times I could even remotely open it up on the streets were extremely rare so it was driven around at about 10% of it's capacity 99.99% of the time.
