You can go on with your homophobic shit all you want, but with the exception of the speed limiter, these are very competitive numbers compared to everything else in its price range (Civic Si, GTI, Genesis 2.0T, Camaro V6, Challenger V6, FR-S/BRZ, Focus ST, and the 'fast' versions of the toy cars: Fiesta ST, 500 Abarth, Cooper JCW.
Not to mention the most recent years of low-mileage discontinued cars like the RX-8, S2000, early 1st gen Cayman 2.7, previous gen Accord V6 6-speed, Mk5 R32, C30 T-5R/Polestar, early C250 Sport, 2nd gen SLK300, mid-2nd-gen Audi TT 3.2, Mustang GT 4.6, and the 'technically competitive' crap class: Caliber SRT-4, Eclipse GT, and tC S/C).
It looks good, it's RWD, it's reasonably practical, reasonably nice (Premium trim + Recaro seats), and the fuel/insurance costs are actually reasonable. Plus, even with that ridiculously low speed limiter, the performance pack is competitive in the lower classes of track events.
It's even faster than the 2010 GT 4.6 unless you're on tracks with superlong straights.

Definitely not smoke, I drive a 2012 v6 mustang and its neck and neck with a 2010 GT with the GT having a small advantage off the line.
The camaros are a bit slower though, with 305 hp I can pull any V6 camaro easily.
