Why do you say an s2000 will be bad on consumables?
My GSX racing would have between 300-350awhp compared to an s2000s 200-220rwhp meaning less speed on the straights and less gas consumed (gas for me is astronomical on track). Also meaning less wear on pads and rotors.
Simple Comparison Consumables:
GSX:
255/40/17 RA1s
13-inch rotors
Wilwood Pads
Oil for engine, transmission, transfer case, rear end
Increased complexity due to turbo, awd, and power.
S2000:
Cheaper Pads
MUCH cheaper rotors (each replacement rotor on the gsx is 153.00, making front rotors alone 306 dollars)
Smaller Tires in diameter, meaning cheaper tires
Oil for engine, transmission rear end (only slightly cheaper)
RWD, light, NA.
Ive considered a corvette but dont want to put one in the wall. I can afford to put a 10-15,000 dollar car in the wall, not a 20-30,000 for a z06. Not scared of the power, my old setup that was slow on the gsx would walk z06s on the front straight. Would also be hella expensive for tires.
