As for SCC saying that "the MSP will dethrone the ITR," that's just journalistic rhetoric and not an objective statement.
Well, the reason why they say that is because the MSP finish the track they had faster than the ITR. So it has some merrit behind it.
Jaje: I'm comparing stock for stock, and stock for stock, the MSP is cheaper to start out with. If you upgrade the ITR wheels and tires, then how about I upgrade the turbo and IC on the MSP and add even better suspension? W/ these upgrades, I'm sure the MSP would still be cheaper than the ITR, carry 4 people comfortably and have a killer sound system. Stock for stock, the handling of the MSP, lik you said, can hang with the ITR without problem.
