Default ITR Sedan?

Never knew there was such a thing until I came across this one today:

Looks legit, only thing I questioned was the 4-lug, I thought all ITRs were 5.

JDM ITR Models were 4 lug (4x114 I believe) prior to 96 or 97. And yes, there was a 4 door version of the ITR.

I'd prefer the coupe. Wouldn't even pay for a sedan........that's just stupid. Longer wheel base = poor handling, especially on turns.

just cuz it's longer doesn't mean it has poor handling especially being a type r at that honda does enough of R&D to make sure these cars are excellent at handling look at hasport 300hp blown k24 4 door integra built for such events as time attack and other competitions and have said that the cars feels very rigid and handels exeptionally well

I'm not doubting the research. I'm pretty sure honda devoted alot of R&D to make sure it handles like the coupe, but it is pretty apparent that it will not be as nearly as good or responsive as the coupe. Wheel base makes all the difference, but seeing that it's a front wheel drive w/LSD, it'll help with handling at some degree.

How so? Sounds more like an opinion than fact.

I don't think 2.1 inches isn't going to make a noticeable difference in the real world.

Just IMO. because of the larger turn radius. I own a couple sedans in the past, and no matter how much money spend on suspension upgrade it just doesn't handle like a couple, plus you have to factor in the added weight of sheet metal on a sedan.

It may not, but I've test drive stock Integra sedans and coupe and there is a noticeable difference.

if you want to nitpick like that the chassis of the hatch is probably much stiffer anyway.

I always liked the ITR sedan though, it's certainly a find if and when you come across one even online.
