Considering that you are posting this in the Type R forum, the results of this "poll" are easy to predict...

I thought the RSX-S was going to win by a landslide!

Integra Rated R - I just read a review of CTR in EVO mag. They said it's not as good as DC2 ITRs. Have you had a chance to test drive the new CTR?

to me, it's like asking an itr owner to go and buy a gsr.

if the new rsx-r were to come... well, that could be a different story.

Umm, did you notice that Integra Rated R is from Europe? And, the new CTR is out in Europe (at least for various magazines to test it out). No, I do not confuse ITR, RSX or CTR. Any more questions?

It's my all time favorite as well.

I would not recommend buying one though......because you will never be able to bring yourself to sell it.

So i am not the only English bloke on the site then?. The new CTR looks like crap and has a dodgy gearknob that sticks out the dash!. However it does get a six speed box and is cheap. Would like to have a spin in one, more so the new ITR (Japan only probably to protect CTR Europe sales) which so reports say could be one of the best handling front wheel drive cars ever.

i-VTEC has a few disadvantages which really castrate the brand. And disgrace the VTEC name.

1st. When in neutral with the car stopped. The 2.0 will not "free-rev", it stops at 5k. Hence no high rpm clutch drops in a drag race application.

2nd. built-in traction control and i-VTEC have killed what was formerly known as a front-wheel-drive burnout (i.e. parking brake burnout to heat up slicks) It is impossible to do a FWD burnout in an RSX. The car is not capable of it.

3rd. WEIGHT! The DC2 is lighter, more nimble and far more tunable. Cars like the DC2 R only come along once every 25 years or so. DC2 ITR is and always will be a cult hero!

need I say more...

Most of those disadvantages will be taken care of with an ECU swap when they become available. I am pretty sure the aftermarket will have tons of tuning options as well, just give it time.
