as someone who used to drive their street-car NB miata to the track , packed with track-wheels ready to swap when I got there, I don't really understand your point.
Switching wheels at the event is extraordinarily common in SoCal -- so much so that many drift/circuit events have a place to check your street wheels at so that they're not stolen in the pits. This service used to be offered routinely at Willow Springs, my local stomping grounds.
- joshu 4y agoThe vast majority of people buying this cars are not going to be using it for drift events. So for the 99% of people who are buying it without intentions of tracking it, why is this there? At least on the RS it was something that could be added (albeit a bit silly.) I'm well aware of how track cars and race cars work. I thought that would be somewhat apparent from my initial comment.

So for the 99% of people who are buying it without intentions of tracking it, why is this there? This applies to 90% of pickup truck drivers also - most of them will never really "need" the bed. People sometimes buy cars with certain features for bragging rights or to present a certain image. This is not new or noteworthy.
