the only reason why the type r is not in the states already is because the type r engine requires a higher octane fuel with less sulfur in it which the states cant get due to its retarted emmissions standards. should honda release anything remotely like the type r in the states itll merely be the type s engine with MAYBE 10 more hp squeezed out of it.
lots and lots of fail

Keep in mind Japanese gas is overated...their 100octate=our 92octane, for instance. As far as I know, the G4 ITR requires the same gas as the RSX-S.

Hey, I'm only reporting what the Acura salesman said. Since he works there, it certainly would make since that he might know something.

Salesman dunno jack about the cars they sell. My friend was looking at a sohc del sol, and the salesman came over and said it has 160hp. talk bout do some research.
My friend is an engineer at honda corp, and they currently have NO plans to bring over the type R next year. He said it will most likely come out, but not for another 2-3 years.
There will be minor reductions on weight such as no moonroof, but I think it will most likely have AC.
