you want a car with real horsepower.? I'm not bashing, I like chevy's too, but I'm pretty sure thousands of people have a honda with "real" horsepower. Just takes more work than just buying one.

If it has sentimental value to you I'd keep it and modify it.If not then I'd sell it an get an R as it is a better platform to start in right off the bat.

U can make a Honda have 500hp all u want, but in all Honesty it's still not a Camaro, u can't whip it sideways for fun or have the Muscle car feel and rumble, IMO if u want a car that's fast doesn't need anything done and to just cruise in id go with the ZL1. If u really want a ITR for one last car, I'd do it, it's a nice car that not much needs to be done to be decently quick for what it is.

You want a car to whipp around. Nothing beats a 1979 210b Datsun. My brother has one, bought it from original owner after he go out the Honda game. nothing beats a classic... Just saying there's other cars that are way nicer for the amount of $ for that camero. More pride in building it and just buying it. that's my .2, I like older cars.

Still not a Camaro or a muscle car, and I'm not talking about drifting crap, just a simple throttle down on a little turn to get that v8 sound and the little kick it does to get sideways.

Real power can be made by any car, but nothing beats the sound of a cammed v8 and having power at the push of a pedal. It's not about building a car or buying one, it's about what u want overall, cause if that's the case who gives a **** about getting an ITR and just buy an RS and build it from the ground up.

Depends on what your financial situation and goals with the car are.

If you have the money to buy a Type R, do it, the are baller and better than LS in every way.

But for me I have an LS as well that I am swapping an ITR engine into with other ITR bits and pieces here and there. I do this because I want a car to torture at autox and road course events and drive it home as my daily. The LS I have is in good shape and already has coilovers and the necessary equipment except the engine so no need to get rid of it. I am fine without the real deal Type R because I have an Evo as well that is more important to me..

All about YOUR priorities man! GL with what ever you decide to do!

Who says I'm talking about drifting. If you like the v8 power and sound then why are u asking the question of building one last integra? and seems like u answered your own question. Who's gives a crap right? It's what u want overall right? make your own decisions and be a big boy

I'm not the one making the choice, but I do see his point, it's like a fat boy going on a diet, he wants a last piece of cake. let him enjoy one last integra who knows maybe it'll change his mind and hell end up keeping it
