I have a standard that I autocross (if we ever get a lot again) and I chose the standard mostly because I found it at the right time for the right price. But I also chose it because I had suspension maintenance issues with my other car and figured the front suspensoin was very solid on a standard. Plus I was sick of struts and wanted to give something else a whirl
I have never driven a super and if it handles better than a standard, that is awesome. My standard ain't to shabby either
