Anyone who wants more than 350 whp w/ typical torque (torque is what matters) for the street needs to build the motor and build the transmission, or replace the transmission somewhat often, or swap a transmission. If someone wants to heavily track the car then they will probably need to build the engine and transmission at much less power levels. A K24/S2000 transmission swap will probably prove to be cheaper in the long run for track or street at those power levels, so I wouldn't exclude this swap for the street, especially if functionality is important.
If someone just wanted a bare bones track car then I could see going a different route than Motec if ABS, traction control, stability control, heater, etc all weren't needed. In that case, the Motec would be overkill, while still offering some tuning advantages.

For a track car you don't really"need" a turn key swap kit. Mounts and maybe a header. Everything else can be a mix of stock (Honda or subi) or off the shelf aftermarket stuff. The more stock functionality you want, the more complexity and expense is added
