I always thought the Integra Type-R was rated the best FWD chassis :dunno:

I'd probably say it's still better than the DC5 and EP3 Type R models.

Of course I have driven neither so I wouldn't know.

There was a video a while back where an ITR and CTR (the previous gens) were running around a track, and the CTR was about a second slower. From the video it looked like the CTR could turn in much faster but just didn't have the power to get out of the corner.

Are you thinking of the video with the two Championship White EK and ITR and its displaying their times at the bottom?


I don't think that video was done so competitively as compared to how it was just kind of showcasing the cars of Honda.

Yeah that's the one. It wasn't a competition, but I got the impression they were pushing the cars pretty hard too.

Good video, if I remember correctly the EK9 always took the outside lines.


Great looking cars, heh.
