I hope you have deep pockets for maintenance?

Years ago, this car was used for the super car vs superbike challenge and lost narrowly just because a bike is more agile in real world situations. But no, I've never seen one on our shores, only read about it in a motoring mag back in the day

It will be an occasional weekend, travel car not a daily driver.

As for deep pockets, sufficient plans will be put in place

Your baby isn't packing more than 276hp, it's the recent wrx STi that starts from 305 to 375hp depending on market and trim.

I think a Nissan 350z will easily fall this Subaru hand

EJ255
DOHC 16-valve turbo with sodium-filled valves originally designed for North American market, now sees usage in some European Imprezas and Legacies destined for Australia and South Africa. Power 210-265 hp
EJ255 Version 1: Used in the 2005 and 2006 Legacy, as well as the 2004 and 2005 Forester. This engine uses the same shortblock and heads like EJ257 in US 04-06 STI. [7]
EJ255 Version 2: Used in the 2006-2008 WRX, the 2007+ Legacy, and the 2006+ Forester. This is the newer AIS equipped EJ255, which uses a slightly different AB630 shortblock, as well as the AB820 heads. The only difference in the shortblock of this EJ255 and the 04-06 EJ257 is the pistons. They are of nearly the same construction, but have a slightly larger dish volume. Subaru lists the CR at 8.4:1 vs 8.2:1 for the 04-06 STI engine. [ citation needed]

It also reminds me of those small tables in the cabins of commercial passenger aircraft, that are intended for changing baby diapers. Maybe that is the purpose of this one as well.
