The Integra Type-R was ranked 22 in Evo Magazines top 100 best drivers cars of all time, ahead of cars such as the E30 M3, NSX Type-R, Evora, regular NSX, Murcielago, Esprit V8, Exige, Cayman S, various 911s, Gallardo, E39 M5, E92 M3, and AW11 MR2.

The new 911 is literally the only recent car that I like design wise.

Few years later:

>rear trailing arm
>heavier

At least thanks to the DC5's, the older one is in the range of 6-8k. I want one desu.

Gotta pay the bills somehow, it's just how R&D for the actually good stuff is funded. Enzo Ferrari said it himself, he wouldn't have bothered with the road car side of his business if he didn't need it to fund his racing division.

>Why did Honda(Acura) stop making fun cars?

>Japan's economy is a shit
>Demographics in japan, youths are a minority and don't drive
>In the U.S., Worst Korean manufactures are now cutting into their market

In short, demand and competition is what killed off most of Japan's sports cars.

Nobody taught you how to talk to people. How sad. This car today even in pristine condition is not worth the money people are asking for them

I honestly don't know, I know how funny it is to pick on honda (acura) but they made some genuinely fun moddable lightweight cars in the 90s and anyone who says they wouldn't get one if they had the chance is lying

You forgot the part about the dc5 having a stronger chassis and the K20A. You know, that engine that they still use today and can handle ludicrous amounts of power.

Oh and the dc5 outperforms the dc2 in every concievable way except for the subjective "muh feels"

It's also only ~100lbs heavier not "way fatter"
