These are cars that have to be driven to impress

This is really where the magic comes to life. I had owned mine for 2 years before I did my first track day. I had thought I had taken it to the limit until a professional driving instructor took me around the track a few times on my first day. Well fuck me dry and call me dusty; I was in awe at what I had just experienced. The way chassis behaves at the absolute limit is what's truly astounding. The overall balance of the car and confidence it offers when driving 9/10's will still rival cars of today. Same can be said for when you're driving 1/10; the ultimate trackable yet convenient daily that satisfies both tasks to the letter. Awesome completely stock or completely built. The racing pedigree and development. The reaction from the aftermarket industry and fans alike. There's just so much to be excited about.
If it isn't obvious yet, I'm a complete fan boi and have loved everything about these fine machines since their introduction to the US market in '96(97MY). Like super fan nerd kind. But I'm also a realistic consumer and believe me when I say, if there was something better, I'd be owing that shit right now. There are "other" cars to have with their own accolades but I couldn't bring myself to own any of them if I didn't have an ITR as well.
