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.
I think it's one of those "just because" type things. You take a cheap car from the bottom of the barrel and make it badass, just because you can.
