The R is designed as an autocross car and there are currently a lot of cars on the market that are equally as good if not better for autocross. Not to speak for R owners that are selling there R's....just an observation.

 

I don't necessarily agree completely .. the R was designed as a 'Track' car where it can let it's legs loose and keep it up in high rpms, with medium to long corners. Tight corners still hurt the R a little (a la autox courses) so many underpowered rear drive cars can hang (ex. Miata).
I think a lot of people get tired of the R and the roughness you have to endure for that extra performance (ideally it would be a weekend car - I'm sure most people would agree if they had the money to buy a fast daily driver), but that's why it's not for everybody

 

A type R stands for type RACE!
Not TRACK RACE, not AUTO-X RACE, not DRAG RACE, not RALLY RACE!
JUST RACE!!!!!!!!
Any form of RACE is what the type R was made for. I have pictures and results from type R's around the world racing in almost every form possible that the car could race in.

Damn, I hate it when people just say the type R is made for one type of racing. Yeah it maybe better suited and place better in certain forms of racing, however the type R is a race built car. It has all the qualites and preperations to race in various forms of racing.

 

I forgot how loud, ruff, stiff it is until I rode in my friends GSR the other day.
I love it but like you say…It’s not for everyone.

mine is a loud and ruff riding pos, but i will never ever get rid of it!!!! I MY R!!!!!! it wasn't intended for any kind of race, track is what it's designed for. buy the vid... i think the name is legend of the type r??? someone correct me if i'm wrong, but it has alot of very good info about type r's not just the itr, but the ctr and the king of honda's the NSX R. can't remeber them talking about any drag racing in the vid...

Since you're talking about autoX, I really do not know of a better autoX car than ITR in the same price range and in stock class. WRX -> no, Celica -> no, Si -> no, IS300 -> almost...

 

Okay...why was the thread deleted that I tried to link this to?!

 

I didn't even get to see it.

 

me neither
