As a FK8 owner, I spend a lot of time explaining to people the shortcomings of this car. Unlike a lot of Type R owners, I spend quite a bit of time in the car, I've racked on 40K km since December 2021.

In my opinion the CTR seems to thread that better than the GRC. GRC seems a bit too "track focused" while the CTR seems more fun and livable as a daily.

Ask bic baws about his CTR and he'll probably say otherwise as its like 80 decibels on the i5 lawl. But i got a feeling the GRC is worse.
All the shortcomings that I have about the FK8 seem to be answered in the Type S. I'd probably pay the cost difference between the two MSRPs. Tbh, I do about 3-4 track days a year, the Type R with a little more livability would be great. That said, if the trunk is smaller it's a no go.
