Default Long live the ITR!

Now that there will be no more, what is the next best thing? Considering price and everything else. (WRX, VR6?) What?

Anything with a boost gauge is super-sexy, in my opinion. WRX with sport gauges all the way

My friend is getting a new car and has already test drove the RSX Type S. He liked it a lot, but said you can feel it does not pull as hard as an ITR in the top end. He liked the RSX because it is quiet and he also was surprised that the suspension was stiffer than he expected. Next car we're test driving is the WRX and then a CL Type S, but he's a Honda guy, so his next car will probably be a Honda.

Are the WRX Cars limited like the R? Are they going for more than sticker? Seems like this is the only alternative. The Type S is jsut not in the same class as the R.

WRX sedan (silver). Tein's ($1400), Injen cold air intake ($250), APEXi Hayabusa cat-back ($1000), Turbo XS BOV upgrade ($200). A set of $1200 17's and not those ridiculously overpriced Subaru 17's. Then go RSX/S2000 hunting!!!

Hmm, looks like someone has been browsing my WRX section.
Yes, I'd say the WRX is THE car to get if you don't have an ITR and want to buy new. I'd say turbo upgrade, upipipe, downpipe and boost controller first along with a set of tires, pads and rear sway bar.

It's almost official, the new Integra Type-R wont reach Europe because it would be a close competitor to the Civic Type-R (go figure!!!!), so i'll stick with my R.... i hate the new Civic-R! grumph!! - maybe an EVO6 in a late, very late future.. hehehehe
