is the ITR salvaged? there must be something wrong for that low price. that's almost in the GS-R price range.

hell naw, forget what these people are saying, get the civic. you could drop a 2003 ITR motor in it. and be even faster. The ITR motors drop in using stock mounts and **** too, you gotta holla at place racing, they put a rsx type-s motor in theirs

You finally made your mind up. Good, the ITR will be a good car once you set it up the way you want it.

Just make sure you have Acura check it out before you buy it. I made that mistake once . Definately worth the $200. They can tell you a bunch more than a crappy $20 carfax that can be frauded. Trust me- I learned the hard way, and ended up out $10,000+. Just my .02

Type R y0!

I like the EP3 better than the DC2R in looks, and comfortability. I don't care for speed and other stuff.

Not to mention the EP3 is definitely better than the ITR in not being stolen all the time.

Good point. There is no one answer to this question, because it differs for each person.

its just your perference, if you have $$ you can make even a metro run 11s. You will never be the best, there is always someone you's gonna beat you.

my opinion: the ITR because its such a great car and it is hard to find for sale
