JDM DC5 ITR also has a much better power plant than the RSX or Aussie DC5 ITR.
The aussie DC5 ITR has the same motor as the RSX in the US does. In OZ we work with KW and I know our DC5 ITR gets 147KW while JDM DC5 ITR gets 162 KW.
so cosmetics and brakes are not the only difference.
The RSX and Aussie DC5 ITR are in my eyes the new GSR.
This is why i bought a new DC2 ITR, i knew i was getting the real thing.
