[i]If you loved 'TheJDM' half as much as you claim you did, you would realize that Honda (

a JDM company!) did the same exact thing with the Integra Type-R... performance first.

Yea, my friend just bought a 2000 GSR for herself, I was there for the test drive. I can vouch for that. My first GSR ride was after I got the R. SO much quiter, smoother, etc. The seats were letting me slide all over the place though.
I'm VERY glad I got the R.
