It's the same formula for nearly every performance variant, no? They still have more in common with the economy car version that not...most of the different parts (brakes, suspension bits) are just bolt-in swaps on the production line. Hell, for the Speed 3 even the motor was a parts-bin affair just like the Civic SI.

The WRX/STI has been the same process too. I'd guess that only the EVO had significantly more parts that were unrelated to the economy version (like AWD) that bumped up their production and manufacturing costs. And Mitsubishi isn't necessarily a company to emulate...they are a mess.
Exactly what we are doing. Dreaming and having hopes.
