If the new Integra Type-R comes to the United States, which class will it be in? H2 seems the most logical to me, except that it will be beating the **** out of the poor RSX Type-S. In H1, it will be getting torched by the hybrids. 217hp, 6 speed, slightly heavier than the DC2R.

I'm still curious as to what Honda will do with their R models. I'd almost rather see the civic brought over than the integra. Even believing the rumors, that's still 2 years away (for what reason I'm not sure).

I can't see it classed with the NSX and S2000, so H2 does seem logical. I'd be real surprised to see someone enter a brand new car in the ECHC though.

 

someone is entering a brand-new RSX-S in H2 this year...

 

I have seen things in the RSX forum about intakes making huge amounts of whp...the motor will be up for it for sure. The struts are the big question mark I guess.

 

yeah they make whp on a type-s. maybe the type-r is already tuned with a better intake stock which accounts for part of the 17+ hp.
