Default AUS - ITR vs NEW ITR

I just test drive the NEW ITR in AUS, the new car is de-tune to 147kw, but believe me, it feel a lot more torque but the car roll so bad from corner to corner, every corner i take, it feel like is going to roll-over... somehow i think the new car is slower for corner...

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!

i thought it had all the goodies of a type R except it just lacked the power? Doesn't it have lsd and all the other goodies?

It's got the Recaros, and the JDM interior package, it's got the JDM ITR bodykit, it's got an LSD, but 16inch wheels (so no Brembos), a 210ps motor (instead of the 225ps JDM), and it doesn't seem to have the super-hard Type R suspension (eg the rear sway bar is pretty puny, prolly 16mm in diameter compared to the DC2 ITR's 25mm...)

16" wheels are no problem for the brembos! N1 spec can fit 6 piston AP racing calipers and 330x28mm rotors under his 16" wheels!...

it has the same characteristic as the JDM TypeR, back off oversteer really bad, worse than DC2.

Hmm, I personally dont like it as much... down the stright... it feel good and punchy... but as soon as it hit a corner...
brake... and more brake.... (((

anyway, I was going to trade in old ITR for new one... guess not anymore...
