For a lot of practical driving, my WRX was nearly as fast or even faster than my 2010 SS. On a mountain rode, the SS (with upgraded sways) would tear apart the WRX, but in town, accelerating around some slow drivers, etc., the punch of the WRX at low speed was satisfying and as much as you would get at those speeds with something "faster". AWD launch is hard to beat. But as speeds increase, the vette stays stable, keeps accelerating, and doesn't drop-off. Around turns it'll grip far better and it'll keep more speed through turns. It is massively faster, but most people won't appreciate that with normal driving.
You want low speed fun? Buy a Miata. Wanna make that even more fun? Add a blower or turbo.
