you can go on about the actual ITR's performance value etc. but this Hatch had the full drive train, 5 lug conversion, bit of a mod list, and the thing was a joke as far as i'm concerned

The ITR isn’t a “fast” car by any means, but it’s got plenty of power for having fun. You can get a faster car for the money, but the Type R just isn’t about that. I feel you don’t need a fast car to get the thrill, it handles great, and revving it out is addicting. Sure there are cars nowadays that will beat it, but at the time it broke many barriers and set a new benchmark for fwd cars. Just driving it around the back roads is intoxicating, can’t wait to take mine to the track.
