The WRX is out for building a dedicated track/time attack car. Ask Scott why.

An STi is a pretty good choice, but why spend $30k for a drivetrain in a heavier chassis? It's cheaper for a true race shop to swap everything into a beater they can strip down to a bare metal body-in-white than to do the same to a nearly new car.
