Did any published road test ever list a 0-100-0 time for a stock US ITR?


Also, does anyone here have a road test for the US ITR (any year) that lists exact 0-100 times?

 

I don't think so, but I'll let you know what I come up with on the way home from the Mexican restaurant tonight.

 

0-100-0 = 24.4 seconds in this Motor Trend test:

Thanks 330R that's exactly what I wanted to see.

I wasn't aware of that prelude SH vs. ITR test.

Funny how 0-100 times have changed for performance compacts.

Low 20's was respectable back then, nowadays even a new SI does a 16.3 0-100, and, on the far end of compact performance you have the subaru STI with a staggering 12.6 0-100 time.


Just FYI C6 Z06 0-100 time is 7.8 sheesh!

 

 

If you study that test chart you'll see it seems they did a primitive testing method which included an uneccesary 5th gear upshift in the 0-100 test, because the only thing that could explain the drop off between 90 mph and 100 mph would be that.

It also explains how modern honda's like the RSX-S and SI which are comparable to the ITR in grunt. Clock sub 20 second 0-100 times with their close ratio 6 speeds.

 

You're right; Motor Trend did something strange in that test, with both the ITR and the Prelude SH.

Take a look at this Car and Driver First Drive:



That's more like it.. only 3.8 seconds from 90-100mph, for a 17.9 second 0-100mph.

 

I didn't realize the Civic Si had a quicker 0-100 time, but it's logical that the 6-speed gearbox allows for shorter gears and a long 6th.

lol@almost 9 seconds from 90-100

I dont even think my DX automatic hatch is that slow.

 

They called the SI "A modern-day Integra Type R" in that road test summary.

Pretty accurate description considering the SI's price point.

Yeah, I saw that in the article. Aside from the near 2900lb weight and the suspension tuning being softer than an R would come, I'd say this would represent an American Civic Type-R, and may stack up very favorably with the Euro Civic Type-R (the new one).

That said, I wish Honda would seriously look at bringing over the powertrain and suspension treatment that next spring's JDM Civic Type-R sedan will have: "in excess of 220ps". In other words, the new Civic Si, despite being more powerful and maybe even a little quicker than the DC2 ITR (while also less expensive 6+ years later) is like an RSX-S replacement, given to the Honda division. I see room between the Si and the S2000 for a Civic Type-R.
