$90,000 civic high watermark? Probably not. Pretty awesome though!

I think the TCR version is $170K and the Civic Si TCA is $52,500. You have to be a registered HPD Racing Line member to buy one.

I guess you have to think of less as a civic and more as a turnkey racing programme.

I guess, but still hard to look past the fact it's still a Civic. I would rather buy a supercar :mrgreen:

I'd compare this to the Longroad Racing miatas. They are legit race cars, price is around $50-60k last time I checked. Not as powerful but something to compare to.

Bingo. This program includes race side support.

This is purely for those who wish to streamline entering into a racing series. Everything else is apples to oranges. Different enjoyment from different applications. :thumbup:

I'd like to know more about the HPD rear lower control arms, and brake ducting (sorry about posting essentially the same link).

Happy New Year! Ed
