First off I'm not trying to hijack.

Adding more power is only going to ruin the handling characteristics IMO. The point of this car is not speed, but handling in spirited driving/autocross/test n tune.
No one needs a rally car in Jersey, there's no where around here to do it, and unless you've attended a rally school, I say don't attempt to go down a back road and attempt a Sebastian Loeb. Though I do like Evo's/Subie's, and I thought about owning one, their use around here is moderate at best since we do have bad winters, but unless you compete in auto crossing, or track on occasion, which 9 out of 10 owners do not, they are pointless to own.

No one NEED's any performance car. 9/10 Sports cars owners don't go to the track either so the wrx is just like any other car. They are not pointless to own. We all have DD's and beaters and park our cars in the winter but the wrx is a performance car that can be just as quick, handle better and be good in the snow. Got kid's? This car just go much more practical huh?
Also I disagree with you on the power aspect of the BRZ. Throw on a set of better tires on it and give it 25 more horses and more torque and it would be a much better car, 0-60 in 6.7 seconds? That's a joke. WHEN the turbo brz comes out with more power, it's gonna be a BEAST.

Agreed. Plus if you take a 38k STI on jumps
