We aren't in JDM land y0!

Further - a JDM land version of an Integra won't hold any advantages over a USDM version in HPDE - since "How many stunna chubs can you pop" isn't part of learning how to drive on track.

News flash
They can afford it. And they have the skill to drift. Those who can't drift use crappy tires to practice first. Once they've acquired the skill, they buy the tires.

any type of racing costs lots of money. Racing in general is not cheap.
