Who would trade in thier R for a new RSX-R? and why or why not.

 

Never. Why? Because I love my R...

 

WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!

 

ummm..no, I like mine better...

 

Nope! Simply put the RSX-R is a "refined" Integra. They refined the fun factor also. I've seen vdo's of the two facing off...by far the DC2 looked more funner to drive.

Long live the DC2 Integras!

 

I'm gonna keep my R.. and when the RSX-R comes up,
I'll buy one too.. (eating spam everyday is fine)...

 

Yeah, it's an "AND" thing. But the DC5-R would have to be all happy JDM Spec (Brembos, etc.). And then it could be my daily driver and the DC-2 would go full on track bitch.

The DC2-R is mine forever... until the wheels fall off and it has no cash value to anyone else.

 

Read the review from HK magazine and the old R is more aggressive than the new R when on Cam. The new R added 100lb of weight to the car and it's mostly to the front, so the old R is a better balance car. However, the new R has significantly improve the oversteer. But overall performance is better but the new R is definitely more comfortable and quieter. So, it's your choice. You want a pure race car? or a high performance luxury car?

It's like EVO, the fastest one is still EVO 3 because of the lightness of the car.

 

Only car I would trade my R for is the S15 Spec-R.

 

haha...i think thats the 4th time i saw H-Pimp post those words when people ask about the itr....

 

the 1965,66 mustang is the most sought after because it is the first and best looking stangs ever built. someday my kid will say the same about his(or her) dad's FIRST generation TYPE R in the garage, true classic i hope to however add newer type r's in the garage to keep my PY company, but never replace.

 

just as piyoimut put it, i would'nt trade for it, just add it to the collection

 

I wouldn't even trade an LS for a DC5R.

The DC5 has too many compromises, the most offensive being the front suspension.

 

Wow, last thing I heard you were calming down about the suspension and admitted you would probably eventually buy an RSX

 

My thoughts exactly. My ITR will be mine for as long as it runs and I am around. Hopefully, that's many,many years. But I wouldn't really want to buy the RSX-R either. I'd consider buying an e46 M3, used of course, in the next 2-3 years.

 

No. The RSX-R has more low and midrange torque which makes the transition to the high cam nice and smooth. Sorta like spec b's I was told.

To answer the original post, I would never trade my ITR for an RSX-R ever. The only good lookin thing about the new R is the tailights. Mmmmm...

 

I will be a dick. Why does this question get asked every 5 days? I think we all know the answer in this particular forum...

To answer your question. No, no trading in for an RSX-S. But, will gladly trade for NSX-R or something "better" IMO.

 

Who wants Comfortable and quiet? I bought an R cuz its raw to the bone baby! if i wanted comfy and quiet i would have bought a GSR.
