I here you.

Out of the dealer lot performance is the way to go. As part of my pending separation I had to add up car expenses, the correct term is "forensic accounting" BTW.

I can "leaglly prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that a WRX costs less than a modded Focus in fact so is a STi and my Focus doesn't even have forced induction and is a fraction of the performer that the WRX is.

I dont know about that. :blink:

Used ZX3, base model ~$8k

Focus power kit, installed, tuned, driving better than stock ~8K

Focus SVT suspension ~$400

Used WRX ~20-25k

I guess it would come pretty close....
