OP has articulated points that pushed me to a Honda Civic Type R for track days. I am a track day newbie. I have a ‘16 Mustang GT Roush SC/Magnaflow cat back - ‘vert. I love my Mustang, but compared to the cars I shopped against it/another Mustang, a used Cayman/used Type R, it’s not close. The Type R feels like a hummingbird on cocaine. It handles & turns like a dream and brakes like a nun in a whorehouse. Do I miss the insane pull, growl and top end of ‘stang? Sure, a bit. Am I thrilled the only mod I “needed” was brake pads? Yup. Type R is ready for track day as OEM. A Mustang GT (PP1) seems to need $5k+ from Steeda for suspension before you go after more braking power. I was impressed with the GT500 CFTP that was in novice sessions earlier this month with me at Blackhawk Farms. That car is a monster. Suspect he’s into his for $110k. I’m sitting at $47k all in. And I’m having a great time with it.
