Of course theres gonna be some bias opinions on here since this is a ITR forum, though I have some questions regarding the two cars. I'm looking into buying a CW 01 Canadian Spec R ideally within the next year or so and I was wondering how the ITR handles against the 93-95 Mazda RX-7's. I currently had a freeway run in with a TT RX-7 and the Mazda could not outrun me persay on the hwy, though I couldn't pass him either so ideally we were pretty much equally compared on the FWY from 80mph on up in speed (even though he's TT boosted, and I was running a I/E on a facotry JDM R motor). There's discussion on my forum (http://sirrommotorsports.com/forum/s...&threadid=2118) about how I should get a RX-7 or a "super car" they put it such as a Supra, 3000GT VR-4, 300Z over my always dreamed ITR. I currently have a B18C-R in my 99 Civic Coupe Si, though its not the real overall thing... I want a R!!! Can any of you ITR people give me some proven or personal comparison facts between the two cars? How will the R handle compared to the RX-7 (both factory form) and how will it accellerate compared to the 93-95 RX-7 (again in factory form)? I know with turbo upgrades the RX-7 would be the faster of the two, but technically the R isn't made to be the "faster" of the two cars, it's designed to be a quick, yet handling track car.
