such a raw, honest FWD car, that felt like a turn key, road course ready car straight off the showroom floor.

very high strung and responsive motor. revs to the moon.

its slow by modern standards, but the agility and the nimbleness is something modern cars cant quite seem to match. the visibility factor is the biggest one, the car has such a low dashboard and big glass area compared to current cars.

it is indeed a special car and its a matter of what its worth to you.

people are willing to pay the dollars for nostalgia and that car does bring quite a bit to most of its followers.

I'd personally spend $15k tops on one. with a jspec front end and some minor mods. at $30k to me, it better be an all original car with under 100k kms on it with a floor pan so clean, you can eat off of it.

if you ever get a chance to drive one, drive one. theres a bit of special sauce on the original ITR compared to the GSR.

The car itself is a niche and of course dollar for dollar there are other options out there. No different from 911 guys. people are still willing to pay 50k + for air cooled cars... theyre not as fast or comfortable and would probably be out ran by a Toyota Camry, but the niche is there.
