You can count the number of car that handle better on one hand. Porsche 911, Dodge Viper. Anything else?

Why?
Because it is a feather-weight and it has the punch of a heavy-weight.

I like how you can load up the suspension around a corner and yank the wheel to get some oversteer. All at pretty decent speeds, on the street of course.

the classic honda feeling, design, apearence, reliability, heritage (Out of all the integra family, the top of the line performance integra from the factory), tradition, rareness, quality, upgradability, potential, speed and handling, DOHC VTEC, LSD, precise easy smooth shifting, and the wide range of cars in the same competition level. i'm probably forgetting a lot of other things.

I don't really understand what the big deal is with the ITR being the "best production FF" made. To me, that's like buying a Honda Civic SI (or whatever) because it's the "best Honda made."

Just because it's the best (debatable?) in it's smaller class of general cars, to me isn't a good reason to say it's "great."

Did that make sense? Maybe not.. oh well, long day.

nothing can be explain by words for R, it's just different when u are in there, and u can feel it. Even u just see it on the road, it attracts u and cops also.
