I am over in Germnay and i have access to both a ITR and a CTR for GREAT prices, roughly 12,000 Euro for an ITR and 20,000 Euro for a brand new CTR. My question is which one to choose from, they are both great cars, and i have heard great things about both. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, please lets see some input!

 

no opinions on this one?

 

itr, no doubt about it. if they released the dc 5 r here in the states, i would get rid of my current itr for it.

 

but go with the EP3 R which has a little more power or the good ole DC2 R?

 

12,000 or 20,000...sounds like a huge difference to me. Id opt for 12,000.

 

Which one do you like better? Drive both, go with what you like.

 

yeh drive both and see what you like personally I would get the dc2 better integras look good

 

I'd get the brand new car.

 

I havent driven a new CTR (obviously) but I have read good reviews in some magazines so I would say the CTR. The K-series engines respond well to mods.

 

used dc2r or a brand new ep ctr...

dc2r definately...now if you had a dc5r in the equation I would say dc5 in a heart beat.

EDIT: The new CTR here in the states will be lucky if it is faster than a RSX Type S and the RSX looks better

 

Difficult choice. Like other posts have mentioned, test drive both and see which car you like more. Depending on the condition of the DC2R, I'd choose the DC2R over EP3R.

 

not factoring in money thing, ep3 willl destroy the dc2 on the track, hasnt anyone here seen the new best motoring type r challenge? it even ***** up the new integra r on the drag strip and on the road track

 

i would test drive first see what you like better and pick

Ep3R would be my choice. Rare car and no one in the states will have it when you come back

 

CTR , and with the + of having a new car and also the k20 response amazing with mods and TQ #'s are impressive

What is so good about the dc5r? That is the RSX-R right? I would ratehr have a dc4r or an older CTR in looks before I ever drove either of the new hideous CTR and RSXR.

There is no such thing as an RSX-R. The DC5 chassis Type R is only available in Europe and Japan. Australia gets a bastardized version.

RSX is a North American moniker only. In Europe and Japan - the DC5 chassis is still known as "Integra"

FYI

You have to take into account that the Euro/UK EP3 CTR is not the same as the JDM EP3 CTR, they are all made in Swindon, UK but the JDM version gets and LSD, lightened flywheel, revised suspension, and proper Recaros and more power 215PS vs. 200PS for Euro/UK model

 

nothing beats a new car and new technology. CTR my choice.

 

EP3 is actually faster than the DC5...just a note

Which volume/month best motoring is this from?

 

save money and get the dc2 and spend the 8k savings to mod!

 

Don't take the Best Motoring vids for 100% truth, they're more for fun than a hardcore comparison. How else would a stock R be able to whoop a stock NSX?

 

it says volume 5 on it.. its a pretty good comparison too, i dont think theyre trying to misconstrue anything.
