ok.
rwd. stick. more power. dont like the nissan. styling is awesome. fwd isnt bad, but i would love a rwd. carry more people than the fwd cars. you can usually have a lot higher limit powerwise in rwd. they also take off better when done properly. oh, yeah, im sick of fwd. and... www.taner.net/movies/tuned_toyota_altezza need i say more? cant drive a fwd like that. |

IS! If these are your choices, get the IS! You can get great performance by simply adding a turbo, you can fit many people, RWD, and insurance shouldn't be such a bitch (4-doors). Plus, it looks so much better.

GOD
I see you've been struggling with this for a while now. Let me ask you a few questions about preference. DO you want tunability? The chance to mess with your car's intake and exhaust systems, maybe do some head work, or add a super or turbocharger in time? If so, your best option is the ITR, with the Prelude a close second. If you don't intend to play as much, and want more usable torque in a more convenient rpm range, get the Prelude. If you just want a nice ride, and like the idea of the four doors, I'd go IS300 over Maxima. It's newer, smaller and lighter, and also makes a great package for turbocharging if you're so inclined. Although there are some strong supercharger kits available for the Maxima as well.
I really think you should go out and test drive all four of these cars to see which one you see yourself in. That will do 100 times as much good in helping you make your decision (especialy in light of the fact that the ITR's will be all gone before too long) as asking us for the 100th time what we think you should get (no offense). |

Integra Type R
108.5 hp per liter. More than the Ferrari F335(107.3hp) High reving engine redline of 8500 rpm. 0-60: 6.5 sec. (way faster than the IS) Look's so good in yellow That's just my two cents

It's a F355. But, I'm assuming that's just a typo. If not, you shall die. And, remember in such a comparison that the Ferrari is a V8, not a 4 banger.

YOU ARENT COMPARING TO AN IS STICK THOUGH.. YOU ARE JUST GOIN OFF THE AUTO NUMBERS...
THAT THING SHOULD BE HELLA QUICK WITHA STICK... sorry, the capslok was on. but anyways... i would rather have a fourdoor that can run with the teg and lude... that would be cool to me... and there is something cool about having a car that no one really has right now... b/c i know that no one has a teg... right? |

Super Street does not lie. It's in the November 2000 issue. page 252, third paragraph. Here I'll even quote the whole paragraph.
"When the Typ R's tach hits 5,700 rpm(or even less depending on throttle postion), the VTEC system witches over from DR. Jekly to Mr. Hype with an audible blare, and the engine sets about scaling it's 195hp peak at 8,000 rpm with alacrity", reported Car and Driver. " Yes, that's almost 200 hp from a 1,797cc engine, before you reach for that calculator we can tell you that it's works out to a specific output of 108.5hp per liter. The fabulous Ferrari F355 produces just 107.3 horses per liter from it five-valve V-8.

Nothing, just wanted to let people know a litttle fact that some people didn't know. I'm not saying the Integra is better than the F355( I would take the Ferrari over the Integra but I couldn't affored the gas money and insurance). So if I offended you sorry.

I think you should get a TL or CL Type-S. Faster then IS, Cheaper, More room. Only downside is it's FWD. If you want a Fast, Luxorious car, with a good aftermarket, get a Volvo, they have Front and Rear wheel drive cars, and some are already turboed which are good up to 400hp on stock internals.

As long as you're throwing hp/L stats around, I might as well mention the S2K, with 240 hp (some say 250, but I'll be conservative) coming out of a 1997cc engine, has a power to displacement ratio of about 120 hp/L, the highest of any naturally-aspirated, factory-produced engine on Earth.
But it wasn't one of the choices, so nevermind. |
