IMHO buying a S204 or RA-R for the race track is a waste. I tried to justify it in all sorts of different ways. In all forms of motorsport I can think of that you are likely to enter brakes are free. i.e. run whatever the hell you want. That takes the RA-R out of the picture. If you are half serious you will strip out the interior and put a cage in. This takes away any point of getting a S204 over a JDM MY07 STI which are plentiful and cheap. No point paying a premium for exclusivity if you are just going to take it all out anyways.

In terms of the Evo, the 7, 8, 9 shape has had far more motorsport success at amatuer level in this country than the GDB (MY01 - MY07) shape. They cost the same to build.
