Excerpt from Acura Style magazine
Peter Cunningham comparing ITR vs. RSX-S:
"The first thing I noticed," he continued, "is that the ride quality isn't reminiscent of the Integra Type R. That car is very much a race car in street trim, but driving that car to work every day is a bit much because it's built pretty much for the racetrack. For me, the RSX Type-S is a car you can be comfortable in driving down the road, yet on the track it was smooth and did everything you would want it to do. The engineers achieved all that without a stiff ride that beasats you up on the road."
The article continues on... IMO, I don't think Cunningham was allowed to compare two cars at all. Honda probably didn't want to jeopardize the ITR crowd.. but at the same time they wanted RSX-S to stand out by not mentioning any ITR related stuff.
Is this article old? I apologize if it's a repeat post.
