Not gonna happen in this lifetime though, at least with my chosen career.
I dunno... I've got basically that in my WRX. I think an open wheel racecar with 1/4 the horsepower and 1/4 the weight is going to be twice as much fun as a race built STi; slower on the straights for sure, but *much* faster in the turns. It'll also be a crapload cheaper to race. My WRX at the peak of my time trials racing cost about $1000/hour to operate considering the cost of 100oct fuel, r-comp tires, and touring car compound brake pads.
