I'm not arguing against the aspect of running older cars and having fun. Heck, I wish I still had my RDX. Eventually the old parts supply for antiquated cars dries up.
And yes, I have been a loyal USVTA guy. even when I show up to tracks where ROAR is the locals choice and I suffer with a heavy car. I make top-3 in these situations sometimes. Gonna' need another car though...roar & usvta rides to bring out depending on what's being run.
One of the fastest guys around here in VTA races a TC3. Not sure what fast tire wear is but I'm getting 6 to 8 weekends on a set of VTA tires before they are bald (practice, 2 or 3 qualifiers and 12 minute main each weekend) 1550+grams on asphalt but big track.
