I have T5 envy, so always interested when they come up for sale. Not pining for this one since I'm happy with my GLT, but thought I'd post it:

As you idle at 5 mph traffic on the 101, you can go Vroom Vrrom with the NA motor and pretend you have a T5.

Slap on a 16t, white injectors and tune or swap the ECU and voila, your GLT performs better than a T5.
