^ who don't you believe?
as far as specs the motor makes 195hp @ 8k rpm, redlines at 8500, runs low 14's. they are more than just the regular integra shell stripped out... the chassis is stiffened, the brakes and suspension are better, no sunroof no a/c, better seats, lighter wheels etc.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't drag race my ITR if i ever bought one. lol.
i'd be afraid i'd wreck it, and then my second dream car would be crushed.
my overall favorite car is a lotus elise/exige. nothing like all-out handling.

Dont know if you guys get EVO magazine but they just did a piece on the best handling fwd cars in the world. They had all the greats in there, cilo williams, 205 gti etc etc. And yes the ITR won it easily.

^ it's not a type R, because it's not a type R
that's all there is to it!
I beg to differ, there's a guy here locally who basically owns D Stock in his ITR.

you probably dont want to autox it either until you get some decent suspension on it. ITR suspension is so effing soft and you'll end up upside down in the weeds with the power it provides.

[sm=owned.gif] nice one marnie... and MHR do'nt get all "oh look at my gorgeous car" you bought it like that... ther is a guy arround town here that bought an Integra with a JDM front end swap, and he thinks he is all high and mighty.. but he bought it that way, and people find him annoying and arrogant... cause he didn't put 5 minutes of work into it to get to where it is
