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.

Yea☹️ I was just trying to rustle some jimmies saying it's not a real sports car. I lusted over type R's before seeing half-ass attempts day in and day out. But I will say, Imo the GRMN would have been produced either way, cuz before Honda was decking out there econoboxes, Nissan/Toyota had a history of making affordable sports car with a proper chassis.
