Speaking from experience...
I used to own a 2007 limited STI (and later modified to 417whp)
as well as an ariel atom 2 300
and a 420hp ls6 miata
There is nothing that compares with my current e90 m3 in terms of the balance of driveability and trackability, it's communication to the driver what the car is doing.
Sure it doesn't have as my power to weight as my ls6 miata. Sure I didn't get a chipped tooth as I did with commuting in my atom. Sure it doesn't kick you in the back of the head when boost kicks in in my high power sti. But I just drove 5,000 miles in 8 days for onelapofamerica.com and I can't imagine doing it in any other car
