Default Autocross grid shoot - '97 R & Si Sedan



Just a '97 ITR (I miss my 97-0050) and my '08 Si Sedan kicking of the autocross season early one morning a few months ago...

Nice cars, I owned a 06 Si coupe and have had 4 ITR's. Si is a nice car but doesnt compare to the Type R. Type R>Si by far. ;-)

way to go matt, you just triggered the itr vs new si argument as if you aren't familiar with both platforms already.

The only ones arguing are the Si fanboys. Otherwise, everyone else pretty much knows the scoop.

Si guys need to read this if they have not already. Time to sell the Si and get a 10 year old Type R that out performs the Si in every category ;-)

I agree Todd...

The ITR is a better performer in every category except comfort

If I could have it my way I'd have a NBP R for autocross duty and an Si for taking my 7 month old son to daycare then work everyday.

The Si's not to shabby of a GS car with 245 R-comps at each corner and had a hell of a time this past weekend:

For the sake of argument, the R is a 'better' car, I know.

Nice to see you are still autoxing the SI, I have not autoxed at all this year....My little guy is 9 mos. old now....

He gets lugged around in my SI too....Great car I think....

I managed to keep the ITR to, but it sits in the garage.....Hope to get some maintenance done and get it on track or at a autox soon...

Hope all is well w/ you guys

Cameron


EDIT: btw who owns the 97?

^ Nice collection!

Cameron, I sold it to a fellow that drove down from Boston but he sold it after putting a little money and energy into it to restore it to new condition. That's all I know...

Who's got #50 (1997)???

Si Sedan = ultimate babyhauler/weekend auto-x'r
