Default Back into hondas....picked up a 97 ITR today

After experimenting with a WRX, and an Eclipse GSX, I'm back home to honda w/ my new CW ITR. well broken in w/ 90k miles still drives like a champ, and for the first time since my first car I'm infatuated with a car!
although power maybe lacking compared to the other cars. the handling is awesome, and the fun factor is definitely higher....I love this car!

I'm in the same boat. After experimentation with a WRX, I found myself loving an ITR. Welcome back to the family.

It wasn't that I didn't like the wrx, I did alot, It just wasn't real exciting to drive for me. I like to call it boringly fast A great car none the less though.

zygspeed

you are local! Nice #s you got there for a stock engine.

The car has i/h/e already....I don't really have much for power plans at the moment for it. just getting the feel of it first. My first impressions have been very favorable though

I couldnt agree with you guys more about them being "boringly fast". I have ridden in my buddies time and time again and just cant get the same feeling i can when im in my caR.

People seem to have this progression often. The only people I know who have actually owned type-r's sold it to get a wrx then went back to a type-r after less than a year. A good amount of people on the boards have moved onto wrx's also and I've seen a few come back I know a lot of people who have wrx's. They are without a dought nice cars, but for the type of environment I live in I would rather have something different. If I lived in a snowier/more rural place I would choose a wrx in a heart beat though

Nothing like an ITR to get you back into hondas.
