I get asked all the time why I track the SHO's.   And not at just SHO 
events, I go to SVTOA, BMW, AUDI etc events.   The reasons include, but 
aren't limited to:

The cars are what I have ( I track both the '96 and the '89)
The cars are paid for
They are fun to drive
I like having something different.

Yes, they are slower than a lot of the cars out there, but not all of 
them. 

In your points, lots of people here are seriously into SHO's and track 
their cars.

Why do you keep and track your Subaru?  There are LOTS of cars out there 
better?   It is just as logical for me and others to track a SHO as it 
is for you to track the Subie, or even a 911.  Lots of cars out there 
are better than the 911 (not as many as are better than the SHO or Subie 
though, yea, lets get that jab out of the way).  Again we go back to the 
old saying that there is always going to be someone out there that can 
beat you  or better you, you just increase the cost of getting beat the 
more you buy faster stuff!.

Yea, the Subie might be faster than my '96, might even be faster than my 
improved '89.  I say again, I don't care.  My "fun factor" is as good or 
better than yours and THAT is the bottom line.
