Don't get me wrong. The HP/$ ratio of the WRX is great. I'm glad the car is getting made, and I wish more companies made modestly-priced performance cars.
But all you need to do is to put a 3.2 into an early car and do a mild set of suspension mods, and a stock STI is easy pickins on the track, IMO. You can pick up a car like that for less than 15K. How much does a new STI cost? (And by the way, the 911 will still be worth 15K in 10 years, while the STI's value will probably have taken an ugly nosedive.)
The WRX is a great daily driver. Its AC alone is head and shoulders above most 911's. And as a quarter-mile car, I'm sure it's a winner.
But I'm actually more impressed by the Honda S2000, as a low-cost track car, than I am by the STI or the Mitsubishi Evo.
