and i did bring up reliability in my first post.
also if 2 civics are at the track making exactly 300hp(one a d other a b); ones gonna have money left over in thier over all budget(they gotta be the same right?) for about 3 grand worth of suspension/tires/drivetrain/valvetrain/nitrous/resleeving etc, not all them obviously.

The d series will have to have a low comp bigger laggier turbo setup to make the same power as a B with a normal sized quick spooling turbo.
Thats why - yes the D would be cheeper to make, but, its quality before quantity.
Like i said earlier - i'd rather have a nice car with a lil more money into it than a gutted car with no interior and a D just to save some money.
