Default What is the one major FLAW of the ITR?

If there was one thing that could be fixed, adjusted, changed, or improved, what would it be? Im not talking about compared to other cars, Im talking about just the ITR itself.

The car handles great but it does have some body roll, and for the ricer side of me .. it could sit a tad lower to the ground. Wish everything made for the damn car wasn't so hard to get ahold of.. like any accessory. No other compaints.

Sunroof = less stiffness = less handeling ability.

That you can't fit wider tires on the car. 245 R compounds would stick like mad.

IMO, the hp and torque output of the B18C. Yes, I understand that alot if has to do with the engine size, but I always wondered if another 10hp or 10lb/ft of torque could have been gained from the stock motor. :shrugs:

none of this JDM / USDM / EUDM / AUDM / CDM crap. I want one god damn ITR that everyone gets, everyone gets Recaro's. Everyone gets 16"s. etc. etc.

I hate having to search for the parts my car SHOULD have come with... but part of me says it is fun too

1. Given us a decent place to put some damn guages.

2. Given us slightly more room for bigger wheels 17"

3. Given us the harder bushings engine mounts that mugen sells.

Other than that not much else

Here's my list:

-CRUISE CONTROL!!!!!!
-Stock suspension rode about .75" lower in the front, and .50" lower in the rear, and the shocks were a TAD stiffer, it does have some body roll stock.
-2.0liters stock
-220bhp-225bhp, it would be amazing.
-Optional 4.785FD/4th and 5th gearing for USDM Type-Rs.
-Optional High Intensity Discharge lighting.
-Optional SRD Recaros
-Optional wheels, not just one style.
-Phoenix Yellow, if it weren't single stage paint.

Other than that, I have no compaints... Just things I wish were changed from the factory.
