2001 model year ITR, last year of production and they got it right.

Oh yea, the 2000/2001 also came with a rear windshield wiper, depending on what your into, that can be good or bad.

Chris, who thought that A/C only became standard on the 2000/2001's.

98, baby.

Championship White...

updated front fascia...

Cams be damned - get CTR cams or Toda or JUN if you want cam goodness...

Everyone knows WHITE is the fastest color... those of you who keep saying it's black need to brush up on your physics. Why do you think most commercial airplanes are painted white?

Now, are you saying that b/c airplanes fly much higher in the atmosphere or b/c McLaren and Minardi aren't keeping up with the red cars so far this year?

It doesn't matter what year the car is. The point is it's a type-R and that alone is worth every cent.
