This is just my opinion (and may cause a bit of rockus)...

Have you noticed how most Integra (specially Type R) don't know much about the mechanic of there vehicles (physically & theory) compared to most 5.0/4.6 Mustang owners. Most seem to buy the car because it has the "import" reliability and is quick and nimble. Ask some one with GSR VTEC, what does Variable Timing do?

What they seem to forget is the Integra is at least $5K more, about a second slower on the quarter mile, and costs a lot of money to upgrade. The prime example is still no official turbo/supercharger bolt-ons for them.

I mean, why would you want to take that much of an under dog position???

One of my friend has an Integra with a funky air charger kit and another one has a home made Turbo Civic... when you listen to them, it seems there only goal is to beat a Mustang???

What's up with that?
