is type-R beatable?
while cruising home in my friend`s 2000` I30t last night, there we saw a type-R. that guy decided to race us....from hearing his car i know he moded his exaust and intake....well i think he was either on 1st or second....because it was really lound beside us before he smoked us....we were at around 50km/h.....my friend`s I30t didn`t even have a chance to downshift on his automagic when the type-R easily pulled away fast....!!!, why is typr-R that fast?...is it beatable?....it`s really fast....the tires were churpping too...just for like half a sec though....

Well an ITR isnt all that and a bag of chips . I wanted one about 6 months ago yes they are bad ass yes they can handle curves very very well and they do have power . But your making it seem like they're unbeatable I'm not downing the ITR but it's not a VIPER or anything and the I30 really isnt that fast it's pretty slow if you ask me . The #s for the ITR are 0-60 is 6.2 and the 1/4 is 14.7 stock that is pretty good but not AWESOME . The I30 runs mid to high 15s in the 1/4 mile thats why it seemed like yall where kinda sitting there at a stand still while the ITR just walked all over yall . I'd say at best with the I/E on the ITR it would have ran a 14.3 or 14.4 if he was a pretty good driver .

a better question would be if the driver is beatable.

YEP
I heard a couple of stories where a Type-R beat an S2000, i think that it's just the driver.
S2000 shouldn't have any problem beating a Type-R.

it's not even in the same class as an I30.... the I30 is a crusing luxury car, while the ITR is a sports compact car
like GOD said the Type-R is really good, but not amazing

As far as technology goes Type-R is one of the best even for its old age... for several years no one has been able to match the GS-R as far as overall performance and power (within its class), more so with the Type-R (we're talking about 4 cylinder non-turbo engines here people).
Cars are only starting to keep up with the turn of the millenium... specially with toyota's new celica beating the gs-rs power (still the type-r kills it), and now Honda/Acura already has a new integra's or RSX to match the other cars a few notch. Honda has always been top of the technology but it seems like they only release their new cars when they're threatened by another manufacturer... they have to be more pro-active and start setting the standards.... it took them a good while to update their integra.

I dont give them a second look, not worth wasting gas on. They're pretty slow from a sports car outlook. Low 15s/high 14s isn't exactly fast.
