An 86 is a real sports car.
Real racing parts= Real expensive

EDIT: I definitely would pay that much for a hopped up s2000 from the factory.
I do believe the type R was a real sports car. The only real difference is which wheels drive. Otherwise they are/were sport compact coupes with great handling. But no one complained about it not making enough power. In fact I suspect a typeR Integra would beat the FRS in a straight line. Just cuz it's Honda doesn't make it any less than our cars. The type R changed things. I doubt this new GRMN would be available without Honda proving there was a market. I do believe $60k is too much for it though. I realize the parts are all hand made and race proven but for the same price, excluding any limitations the GRMN had to originally compete under, you could build a much faster 86 with factory made parts.
