More people would be willing to try and push boundaries and experiment when they are not hit by a giant wall of cost.
Honda are great if that is your thing. I love rear wheel drive cars. Driven all breeds at the the track and in EV's. The reason Honda's are popular are because people have pushed the limits on the K series motor. To be fair a proper Honda track car ain't cheap either. Ben from Gears and Gasoline broke down the cost to build his track car. $25k ain't going to get you there.

Tracking is expensive. I bought a track prepped Miata track and street car. It still was expensive. The heads had to be done twice, rotors, brakes, tires and a proper 4 point roll bar. Things add up quickly!

The bottom line is we all need each other. The car community suffers because many want to hate on a platform or between platforms and show vs track. Then there is grip vs drift vs drag and so on. My rant is over.

Spooler, carry on my brother!!!
