I think what got lost is, why would the WRX guy even want to learn on a rwd car? The handling characteristsics are COMPLETELY different than his car. I track my car so that I can drive my REAL car, not my track car better. If I suddenly get a little sideways on the street in my awd car, but I only know what to do in my rwd car, then I could mess up and put myself in MORE danger than if I had actually learned on my awd car. If anything, IF he wants to have a track car, he shouldnt go with a fwd or rwd platform, he should go with a car with similiar handling characteristics as his wrx. Like a 2.5rs or whatever, that way he can beat the shit out of it, LEARN HOW HIS CAR reacts, and yet not be beating up on his car that he dearly loves.
Point is, I go to the track to enjoy it FIRST, SECOND to learn how to drive to improve my safety, but thats not gonna happen if im learning on a completely different platform then the car I actually drive.
