while the ford/chevy are bringing over the big guns.. and their specialty vehicles. And the european performance...along with it.
I disagree. What makes the Civic Type R so amazing is the balanced chassis. That car is 25% motor and 75% everything else. It laps faster than an s2000. While most of the cars you mentioned are torque steer monsters (not mini) the CTR isn't. But the Civic is much faster than all of those around a track.
