Okay, buddy, let's break this down since you're having a hard time.
You have entered a conundrum and contradicted yourself here. Competition cars with swaps, to your exact point, have zero connection with what you are wanting to do with yours, so there is no point to be made at all...it is moot.
You came on here specifically stating you wanted to swap, it must make over 450, and must pass inspection. We are doing our best to let you know that it's most likely NOT worth it, but you don't want to hear and want to throw a fit. Have at it.
If you came in here and said "hey I want to build a track car and am thinking about some various I6 motors...I don't care if things really work like a street car should and just want it to rip on track"...go for it!
In the end, that's not the case here, and you don't want to listen. Nobody is policing anything. You are just having a hard time listening and understanding what we are trying to tell you.
At the end of the day, it's your money, and anything can be done with enough of it.

I wouldn’t call it contradicting at all. I stated exactly what I’m looking to do with the car. Explaining that there are plenty of swap cars out there competing in motorsports, if you want to get into it. However that’s not what I want, and you stated that… so I think your confusing yourself.you guys went on and on that it’s not worth it. Yeah, don’t care. Its something I’m curious about doing and made a post looking to connect with maybe some more less ego driven open minded people. I stated that it would be a expensive swap? I have said all of these things. Y’all just can’t get over the fact that you guys don’t agree with it. But that’s fine. I didn’t come here asking how much money it’s going to take or how much time it’s going to take, OR if it would be worth it/faster

I think you're posting on the wrong platform then. Perhaps you would have better luck on Reddit or Facebook so you can get your likes for doing something unconventional or unheard of. With regard to the other comments, they were honestly trying to be helpful. I think what everyone was trying to say is that it's not realistic based on what you've said so far.

I'm thinking about putting a Ferrari engine in my STI what you guys think.

Right like I don't think it's possible to swap in a different engine and still pass emissions with basic knowledge.
Only thing I'm aware of that would fit that criteria are DAZA swaps into MQB chassis cars and there is one company doing those and it costs about $14k in labor alone lol.

OP sounds like he just loves to get wrenching. If you pull it off kudos to you OP. But a VR38 with an 6MT would make grown men feel funny down there. Hell even a VR30 would be a fun swap. VK58? Keep it in the family.
