She also doesn't believe I'll hold on to this car long term, and she could have another point.
That is a great point, and fits a bit with my situation. This is a fun car, occasional track car. Part of it's allure is being able to do track "touring" where I can comfortably and reliabily drive it across the country, do a track day, drive to another state, do a track day, and then drive on home. I collect track stickers as a "thing". It's my experience/fun sort of deal, and the CS is a perfect car for that. When I'm actually looking to driver hard, improve skills, go 9/10's or more at tracks closer to home, I have a dedicated car for that. I'd rather have money left over from my car funds to dedicate into that than dump even more into the CS.
