So, I realize that a performance shop could turn a Geo Metro into a competitive sports car, but I still have to wonder why they're choosing to do an L as apposed a WRX or STi. The only reasons I can think of are price, weight, and looks.

It seems like racing a more modern Subaru would get more people interested in (and make more money for) the shop and even with all of this bickering, I'm still not convinced that one or the other makes a better racecar chassis. Perhaps it's better to start with the light/flexible chassis since either way, a full cage is going in.
