Damn, I've test-driven a stock S2000 and a stock WRX (first gen). Wasn't in love with the first because all the power was too high in the band. Wasn't in love with second because I thought 4WD honestly was less fun on the street than RWD or even a powerful FWD. I'm more than happy juicing my FWD and RWD beasts until they're fast (relatively of course). Curves be where the fun really is....
