DC2/DB8 Type R?
I’ve always had a soft spot for the DB8 Type R. Everyone hates it, that’s probably why I like it LOL.

Spoiler!

IMO they are very different car. Is it your "1 car solution?" Eg is this going to be your DD and weekend and Road trip car?
ITR can do daily duties without issues but i didnt enjoy driving it as a DD. Too much NVH and 3500rpm on the highway is tiring. The ITR comes alive on track and thats where it shines.
The E46 is a much more balanced all arounder that does everything quite well (except reliability maybe?)

With the ITR you wont really miss a beat. You don't have to be worried about breaking something on a Honda at a track day. Parts are everywhere. Engine swaps are dime a dozen. You can stick with any B series or if you got cash to burn and feel adventurous move into the K series engines.

If you had a DD and this is your second car, I would tell you to get an ITR right away - but if you want a single car to both go to the track AND look professional, I'm not sure the ITR would be the one. Non-car people will not look at the ITR and think anything of it like enthusiasts. It comes down to how much you care about how your car may portray yourself to your client.
