Drove my friend's Integra Type-R...
it was nice [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. i didn't like the steering feel or the shifter though. does anyone else not like really short throw shifters? it feels unsatisfying to me. the throw from 1st to 2nd was like 1 inch. hmm. pretty quick. they raced his stock type R vs a Si w/intake, and the Si lost by around 2 car lengths apparently. i like my slow civic better though. i drive slow. drive safe guys!

Rep Power: 0 a friend of mine has a 2000 type-R, the only car that i would get in a yellow. its really sweet and fast but he doesn't let anyone drive it. but as much as i like the old type-Rs i would much rather have a new rsx-s.

Rep Power: 0 why? its slower, handles worse, costs more (can only get used ITRs now), stops in a longer distance and carries none of the prestige that a comes with a real R car.

Rep Power: 0 all true, but i guess it's just a personal preference.

EDIT: part of it would be the sunroof and leather seats. and theoretically the lost hp could be made up with a few simple bolt ons.

Rep Power: 0 are we forgetting that the ITR weighs 300lbs LESS then the RSX-S plus has mujch better gearing and a 300% tighter chasis (yes it is indeed NOT just a GS-R chasis with a different engine).
