Default Which car handles best??

I was wondering which of these cars would have the best overall handling for autocross, street, and road course.
1) 1991 Nissan 240 SX with front and rear sway and strut bars, agx shocks and 5 zigen springs. (I think it handles pretty well)
2) 1997 Integra Type R, with skunk 2 coilovers
3) 2000 Prelude SH stock
4) 1995 BMW 325Is with eibach springs


thanks in advance.

IMO the type R. Unless the stock shocks are dead.

well, the 6g lude has won the award from a few of the top magazines (Motor Trend, Car and Driver) for the best handling car under $40,000. And that car isn't really close to 40,000. Because the ITR was limited production, I am unsure if they considered it in there rankings. But overall, I'd have to agree with everybody else, ITR.

IMO, the ITR would handle best - even without the Skunk2 coilovers

Why do you ask??

I'd pick the Prelude, simply because it's the only one that isn't hindered by poor suspension mods.

Robster, the Prelude was voted the best handling car under $30,000 by Car and Driver in 96 or 97. at that time, the Type R was not yet available in this country. no one knows what would have happened if the R was around then. I don't know of any similar handling comparison in any of the "major magazines
