I don't want to open IE to watch this embedded video crap. What the hell is an Acura Type R? RSX Integra?

In any case, FWD is FWD.

Honda has a LOT of work to do if they wanna compete with the STi or Evo... those cars aren't meant to compete with the ITR, they're meant to compete with big $$ supercars. ITR is more SRT4 competition... but it'll be slayed at the strip by the SRT4... anything less than a 350Z can't keep up with a SRT4 in the straights.

BTW, all the oversteer done is drop throttle or trail braking at higher speeds. I've done that before myself and seen ITR drivers do it too. It's generally the slow way around the track so that's why people usually don't do it in a FWD.

VTEC isn't, but iVTEC is.

That must not be a commercial for the US.

It has a Honda emblem on the front, it's called an Integra, and it's Type-R. Here in the states that's an Acura RSX...and we don't get Type-R shtuff.

:confused:

Actually, if you guys watched the video, it has a honda badge. In japan, the Honda Integra is our Acura RSX. Is this commercial intended to to run here in the states?

Only an idiot would say that. I could get my '88 Accord to oversteer. All you have to do is lift off the throttle quick in the middle of a corner.

I think for iVTEC since it's always running, you won't have the turbo lag feeling like vtec does.. it's cool, that's why ivtec engine has more lowend torque.
