ITRs get jacked to much. Same with SiRs. Hence I will never own one.

I like em.. but I think they are over-rated... I would've got one, but a tad bit pricey for me

Well personally I like the styling over the EP (no offence to you or the other EP owners, you guys know I love your cars). I feel the EPs are a tad bit too big for my taste.

The engine seems nice and their performance is only just being tapped.

I really like the RSX S. I have driven one and the handling is good and the stock power is better than average.

i really like the rsx-s.... i've driven a few and they were all responsive, comfortable, and good handling cars.... can't really compare the itr to them since the itr is directed more towards pure performance and the rsx-s is more towards comfort then performance. but i'd definitely pick up a rsx-s if i had the chance. overall great car in my opinion......

and like bbarbulo said, u gotta love them seats... heehee

Yeah I love the seats, kinda look like a factory racing seat.

Bruno, what do you think of the Cooper S?

Am I wrong, but don't you post on CSI about how **** TCC is, and constantly talk **** about TCC.

If so, why are you posting here.....

Oh and I'd get a gunmetal/black roof Cooper S over an RSX anyday.

HID's, the colour, and interior would do it alone.
A guy at work has a gunmetal/black top S.

Tman: I've never said bad **** about TCC. Maybe once a long time ago but never since. I have no problems with TCC or any of the members.

I would get the regular RSX over the TypeS

IMHO

Theres a much more usuable power band.
And its worth saving the 5K

The Cooper S is a worthy toy, not much more. It handles well, powerful, and it's cute... but it's small, heavy (for it's size), and rather expensive. Not to mention that Chrysler had developed the powerplant for it cuz BMW didn't have an engine small enough to put in the MINI, so they outsourced it to Chrysler of all places

Don't like Neons and I never will. Don't care what they do to it. Fact remains the engine is still ****.
