Regard to the OP, I agree sometimes 'too capable' is no fun. Having to hit triple digits before the car gets lose isn't what you necessarily want to do. That's a big part of what made the e30m3 so much fun. Same goes for the old Porsches you refer too. I recommend adding power to solve your tire 'issues' ;-) Its so easy to add power to this car and the chassis handles it well.
The PSS has a softer rubber compound, hence more grip, but stiffer sidewalls, hence less comfort. But otherwise, I don't think that adding power is the right answer. It's cheap to obtain indeed, but it'll just increase risk. What you wanna do is decrease grip, and then learn to drive into these new grip limits. So IMO, the answer for experienced drivers is: less grip, so less tire and more slip.
Have you ever driven on a wet track, or a dusty road ? Less grip = more fun !
