if the itr is going to be your only car, then get the type s. if you have another car, then you can keep the ITR around as a weekend car. wouldn't DD an ITR due to the EXTREMELY high theft rates.

if you can keep the ITR garaged, then i would say it would be fairly safe if you just wanted the ITR as a weekend warrior. just be cautious with where you drive it.

If you can deal with the ITR's high theft rates then go for it. The itr is definately a better performing and fun car in every aspect over the typeS.

well in my opinion if its not a daily driven car then go with a itr. but as far as the theft rate goes, i give it another 2 years before the type-s will be the new itr in a thieves eyes. K series are very popular and expensive so they go fast for a street price. As far as comparing the two cars well the itr was designed for track use. the type-s doesnt handle anywhere near as good as a itr stock for stock, But when setup properly the type s will handle just as good if not better then a setup itr. The motors in the type-s blows the itr away. A K series is everything that a B series lacked plus more. There is my 2 cents on it, hope that helps

like everyone said. only the itr if you're going to treat it as a weekend car, garage it, and get a good alarm system on it.
