All that power is delivered at any rpm, something you'll never find in a 4 or 6 cylinder.
By the way, he just sold his 400hp WRX for this and I drove that too.. imo he made a very good choice.

The 400hp LS2 GTO is a sweet car, but it's not my cup-o'-tea. If you like that car, you'd probably love the 425hp Charger SRT-8 or the new 500hp Shelby GT500. Great power, super torque, comfy rides but all have curb weights in the 3,700-4,000lb range.
The WRX/STI, Evo, etc are a different kinda car. Lighter weight, faster reflexes and great power potential from their turbocharged powerplants.
If that's your thing, good for you. I've been down that road before when I owned a 2000 SVT Lightning (360hp, 450ft-lbs) but it's not a road I plan to go down ever again.
+1 on Earthworm's comments on driving a s/c SVX. Svxfiles' car rocks!!!
