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

My E36 before the V8 swap was a car that I consider to be very similar in spirit to an ITR - it's a capable and quick car that is only average when you consider the specs but somehow when pushed hard seems more than the sum of its parts.
After the V8 swap (video above) the car was technically much faster but was much less enjoyable to drive. I feel the same way about something like a Focus ST vs the ITR, I'd rather drive the ITR on the track or twisties most any day.
