Type R.. every Honda Rice boys wet dream..
They are a good car, but most of you wouldn't be able to utilize it where it is good. At handling.. it is not a quick car.

here's my 2 cents:
Type R is an awesome car right out of the box, it's the sport compact flagship, and i doubt any other sport compact can beat it if it just remains stock, that is what is good about the type r, pre-tuned, w/ racing in the mind of the engineers when they developed it. as for the type R not being a great handling car, i don't agree w/ that. the type r suspension is one of the best out there in it's class. at the last laguna seca meet, i got the chance to speak w/ gt winner Peter Cunningham (#42 Realtime Racing Acura NSX Driver) and he stated himself that the type r, thou not the fastest out there, has the best handling, and braking. that is why it wins so much. Realtime Racing by the way is an all Acura team. what was funny also was that upon seeing the realtime racing type r's parked, i got all excited and ran over to take a look, and there were 2 other professional drivers (one from BMW, one from Audi) who were laughing at me sorta for being all excited over an integra, but they settled down, and honestly stated that Acura is pretty good, suspension and handling. so there you have it, the words of professional drivers, but of course each is entitled to their own opinion. just think about this, in gt racing, the type r is extremely limited in what it can modify, and is pretty much stock for the most part, on the other hand, the BMW 325's get to have most of the M3 replacements put in them, so why do the type r's still win? personally, i like the gs-r better b/c of it's tuneability, so many things you can do to tweak it, whereas a type r would pretty much remain stock b/c it is so good already.

It took car manufacturers over 8 years to just come up with something to match the type-R Acura/Honda created their Integra's and left it untouched for 8 long years because they haven't seen any real competition... it's only now in the turn of the century where other manufacturers are integrating vtec type technology into their sport compacts to meet the same hp and torque of the integra's... but then the RSX just came out so they're back to chasin' honda again. Type-r or any honda for that point wasn't built for the drag... they are track cars... meant for high speed racing... that's why more work was put into suspension, handling, breaking... and not just the engine.

hmmmm that's odd, i'm pretty sure the Type-R doesn't come out for another couple years. Are you sure it didn't say Type-S not Type-R? maybe the guy was a ricer, and put fake emblems on it

The Type-R is crap
First off, thinking that youwould be able to beat a Type-R in an I 30 is freakin funny, second of all, they are not that good, I got a 97' Toyota Supra Twin Turbo that kills ITR's,Camaro's, Vetts, and yes I have even killed a Viper. So yes I would say that they can be beaten and they are not that great!!!
