I actually just went. They didn't have one outside for test drives but I gave the one they had a good looking over... they're pretty sweet.


PS. MD... you've been kind of a downer lately man. The ITR is definitely a fun drive, expesially if you drive stockish Civics like the majority of us around here. Just because it doesn't have 300hp doesn't mean it's not a fun car to take a loop around town in.

 

Ignorance is bliss.

For anyone who owns a Civic or anything comparable on our side of the water, an ITR will be pretty damn exciting.

 

I own more than a civic bro

 

^ Yeah, exactly... It's also a lot more than "just an integra with 165whp" The suspension is different, bigger brakes, bigger wheels, stiffer chassis...

I'd put money on it around a tight track over a comaro or firebird.

 

Yes, I realize that. But a lot of people here don't. And like amg said, I'd put my money on an ITR over an F-body on a moderate road course. They're just more fun to drive, even if you can't go sideways.

And just out of curiousity (serious question), have you ever driven an ITR?

 

Yes I have, they are nice cars to start with. Do not throw off on the F-Bodies handling to much as the Formula's that were geared towards autocross in stock form pulled around a .91g on a skidpad. IIRC the ITR pulls around a .88 or a .89. The F-Body cars can handle in the right hands, unlike alot of cars you cant just hammer on em all the time. You have to pay attention in the curves. No doubt that the ITR is a great car as far as honda's go but a S2K will rip on it in any road course setting. To me FF cars can only offer so much in the way of handleing in respects to making big power and still being able to do it.

That is why I have wondered away from fwd cars and both of the cars I have now that I drive atleast are RWD. I got the F body to handle ok and I just bought a Buick Rgal to handle drag race duties.

 

Fair enough. Just checking.

Both very true, although the price tag on the S2K sits well above an ITR most of the time.

 

I live in maryland too honda97- goodluck on the test drive

 

man i would love to drive the ITR, i can honestly say that an ITR typr R is in my top 10 most wanted cars

 

me and my brother tried to test drive a 04 sti and they would not let him and hes 25. the salesman apparently said no one can test drive them because they have this computer in them that ajusts to different drivers and that we would screw it up if we test drove it and didnt buy it. i think thats alot of B.S. thats so sick how you got to test drive one though. thanks for all the replies.
