ITR "resale value" = a check from the insurance company

You missed the point. $13k FD is cheaper than RJ's ITR, so yes, FD > riced civic

you missed the point.

fd track costs + fd maintenance + fd insurance + fd initial cost > itr track costs + itr maintenance + itr insurance + itr initial cost

16" tires arent significantly much more than 15"s
A balanced car will wear tires better than a front heavy fwd.
As well braked relatively light rwd car, brake costs will be similar.
Initial cost of an ITR is more. Insurance is sure-as-shit more. ITR maintenence should be less, but ive seen way too many smoking and ill-engined ITRs at the track to assume that the engine will go a good long time either

in the end, I dont think you can say an FD will be a whole lot more than an ITR.

Evan Wrote:16" tires arent significantly much more than 15"s

They are when you're using falkens and used 205/50/15 R-tires. You can't get 16" r-tires for $100/set all year long. Even going to 17's to use Falkens, they're still $106 (225/45/17) and $114 (245/45/17) each.

Quote:A balanced car will wear tires better than a front heavy fwd.

A 250+ rwhp car will wear tires faster than a front heavy fwd car. I have no tire wear issues at all.

Quote:As well braked relatively light rwd car, brake costs will be similar.

No, but its a lot faster - more speed = more brakes (ke = 1/2mv^2). It does have a better braking system, so it may just be a draw.

Quote:Initial cost of an ITR is more.

They're about equal.

Quote:Insurance is sure-as-shit more.

Insurance on a "sports car" is going to be less than an ITR? Probably another draw. I'm paying $60-70/month for the ITR now.

Quote: ITR maintenence should be less, but ive seen way too many smoking and ill-engined ITRs at the track to assume that the engine will go a good long time either

I've seen several ITR's with well over 100K at the track, their engines are fine. I havent had to put any additional $$ into maintenance this year, or have any unexpected costs.

would an FD really be that hard to maintain for track use? sure, it might be wise to upgrade the apex seals, and take a good look at the cooling system, but i think mazda had competition in mind with that car and tested it for that environment accordingly.
