New Car: Suggestions?

Yo! How is my favorite club doing these days!   ;D

I was hoping to get some opinions on a new car, I am looking at picking up something fun for next spring. The two I was debating between were the BMW M2 Competition (w/ manual) and the Civic Type R.

Just wondering which one you guys think is generally more competitive for AutoX (assuming they are both on the same brand of tires).

This one's easy -- the Type R is *much* more competitive in Street trim. The Type R is one of the cars to have, if not the car to have, in D Street. Conversely, while the regular M2 is competitive in B Street, the M2 Competition was placed in A Street, where it's not really a great choice against the Z06 Corvettes and Ryan in his Cayman.

DS also arguably has a softer index than AS, if your local club races using PAX.

PaulT:
Nick, come back for the Nationals and tripod it. It would be nice to see you again.

JamesTCallaghan:
I would say the CTR is better for auto x but I still wouldn’t buy one.

NickST:
Awesome, I knew I could count on you guys for a quick run down on them!

Paul, maybe next summer if everything works out I will be around in the summer with a new toy! Haha. Fingers crossed.

James, any reason you'd avoid the Type R. I know the styling is polarizing, but I kind of dig it
