[quote:75c33edabd]I drove a friends Intergra Type-R and it was really nice...I should drive a lower car first. I don't know how to drive stick yet[/quote:75c33edabd]

How could you drive a type R and then say you dont know how to drive stick? =) just intelligently pointing out something, that people missed. Sorry for being critical, but yeah IMHO i dont think the ITR would be a good 1st car for you (stalls, mis-shifting, new learner on manual) you seem to be pretty new driver being 17, i was that a year ago haha, but yeah, Im gonna get a type R hopefully by Christmas, as a present for myself, I'll end up buying it and pay 300+ per month not including insurance, which I pay my self under my parents policy of course =). ITR Insurance would be sky high, i checked it for myself without my parents policy and its like 1850 per 6 months of coverage so yeah if you have a good paying job or a job at all...checks would barely make insurance and car payments...thats if youre doing it all on your own, which i think you should, maybe with minimal help from the rents because I believe relying on parents too much is a no no =) my opinion again. And yeah, what else...I think your first car should be a corolla or civic, =) corolla was mine and will still be mine when the ITR is in the shop being converted with JDM C-west and MUGEN goodies =), Those cars (rolla and civic) arent bad cars to start off driving in, get them in MT so when you will get the ITR you know how to drive it well without burning up the clutch =).....Also yes Type R is built better, than and RX7...atleast the US models of 93-95 but after that its a different story 96-01 are the years of the FD3S in which it became an all around car It's amazingly fast and some can destroy supras (referring to cars from REAmemiya) also its an amazing track car, i belive can take ITR's anyday on the track the [(RX7 Type R, RX7 RZ, RX7 Spirit R, and RX7 Bathurst Type R) my opinions again based on my knowledge and research on those rotary rockets]....and also Type R being built better than a Supra is vague, better in what way? Handling wise i would accept that. ITR can take supras on the track (IMHO Supras have poor handling on courses compared to an ITR or RX7, its just not a track car, prone to severe understeer) also Supras have one of the best engines ever if not the best, the 2JZ-GTE is a monster of an engine, No B18C5 can take 36+Psi and make over 1000RWHP without blowing pistons through the hood...(my opinions again and again [based on my knowlede]..sorry) So yeah Supras for tearing through freeways Well built USDM RX7's for all around (racing Track etc), or else import a japanese RX7 98+ =), and finally the ITR for qucikness, agility in handling, reliability and a hell of a lot of fun. -I wanted the RX7, I cant maintian one, and I wanted a Supra but didnt have money to Mod one....so final Decision....the ITR Black 01 is mine... =)


.......thats my 25 cents for the day..........sorry for making it into a lesson and crap its my 1st post by the way.....Nice to join all you guys. -OnE-
