Or best yet, for $5000 you can get a factory one, and mod it to be $3000 faster than the home-made one.

Any of those options is a waste of money when you get down to it. So now you're in the realm of totally subjective value for the return on the investment. If someone says that spending $5000 to swap his car, whatever it may be, is worth it to him, how can you argue by saying that he could have saved money by doing something completely different? Yes, swapping is almost inevitably going to cost more than trading his car in. But, trading his car in to get an STi or even WRX doesn't make financial sense either.
