I won't own any sportscar that I don't frequently drive at the local road course. Of course all cars wear their tires and brakes at the track, but not at the same rate.
I had a good friend with a Mustang GT racecar and it went through a set of Hoosiers every day due to the live axle (corded the outer shoulders after a couple hours each time). My Porsche goes through track tires every 15 track days and keeps its brake pads for about 30 track days. I can't afford to spend $2,000 every track day (I go to the track about 25 times per season).
A 135i can be easily tuned to dial-out the understeer (swaybars and alignment). A Mustang cannot be easily cured of its issues.
