the msp is fast but comes from the factor with racing hart 17x7" wheels with potenza re040 z-rated sticky tires so i'd expect on a stock basis it can hang with an itr...but those who modify suspensions will tell you the itr is one of the few fwd cars that handles like a rwd allowing you to take lines in corners similar to rwd car...now take take the msp and drive it against an itr with large 17x7" with some sticky tires...the itr with its lighter weight and let's face it one of the best suspensions on the market for a car under $40k will walk away on a road track (drag race the msp has a much better advantage with more low end torque)...the fact is the itr's suspension is something of legend
