Only because we have all gotten used to cars that are massively over-powered for todays road conditions, and that really was the crux of my argument. I would contend there is no skill in driving something like an Audi RS6 on the road, and therefore little pleasure, and that anyone who claims to be able to extract 100% of what a GT3 RS offers on the public road is either a liar or a lunatic. The delight of the Toyubaru is precisely that is NOT overpowered, you have to go looking for the power, and use some real driving skill to get the best from it, and of of this at less than jet fighter speeds, which will get you banged up if caught these days. Enjoy the drive, not the numbers. For the record I have now driven several of the Toyota versions, which have slightly different spring rates, and if anything they are even better on the road, whereas the Scooby is slightly more track focussed, but we are talking shades of difference here. I really like both the Subaru and the Toyota, and would happily add one to my fleet if cash allowed, but would I swap my Cayman for one? ... No. All of them are great to drive, but the Porsche ultimatley has a certain something that even the best mass produced Japanese car doesn't have.
