700? I thought there were approx 350 US 97's and approx 150 CDN 97's... making closer to 500. Which makes them even harder to find!!

I wouldn't worry about getting a 97 or 98, BUT CW is a must!

Back in the 1960 Mexican Grand Prix was the winning Honda race car PY or NHB/FBP? NO! it was championship white baby.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? Why do you think they're white?

Re: availabiltiy of a 97 R (NVMYSi)

There were 318 ITR's sold in 97 in the US. I have a letter from Acura stating just that. I might be interested in selling mine. I would have to have an offer of roughly 17K. 1997 ITR, #98, never wrecked or dinged. Few MINOR paint chips, damn near perfect. 50K miles.
