The fact is, I bought my car for a reason. I purchased my car when I was 17. Insurance was and is low. It gets 30mpg highway as it sits now. I'm awd, and able to run cheapie all season tires and cut 1.6-1.7's all day. I can drive in any weather, rain, snow is fun. It's my daily driver and capable of driving all to myrtle beach without any overheating problems with A/C.
The car weighs near 3300lbs stock, right now I'd say it's near 3200-3250lbs.
Trust me, if I could afford a brand new GTO, or 03 cobra, or WS6, or vette I would, but it isn't financially feasible. So I work with what I have, and I think I'm doing just fine

Plus the extra benefit of being the underdog is more fun, if I wanted to destroy everything on the road I would of bought a liter bike. Pulling mid life crisis 50 year olds in a foreign "ricer" car puts a smile on my face.
