Ok, so you're using your one friend as an example for all ITR warrenty cases?? If one example changes everything then heres one for you. My friend blew the motor on his ITR when he misshifted and Acura had a new motor in there in about a week and a half. Big deal, its just a case by case thing. Does it meet SCCA specs? you said no, but SCCAs has many different series you can compete in, ever heard of showroom stock?? Is it the stiffest, fastest, most equipment? Thats not the point, its very well rounded in all catagories, and THATS what makes a great race car, not dominating in one area. And im just curious about this one, what car meets your strict regulations as a factory racer? Fact of the matter is the ITR is an excellent track car from the factory and im sure a majority of us here will agree on that point. And USDM is way shittier huh? Based on your points its way shittier because of
A) small engine differences
B) the lights (OMG&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>
C) the seats
Doesnt seem to really make a difference to the actual car, does it? As far as I know, the only engine diff's are the exhaust manifold, higher comp. pistons in Japan, and some ECU tweaking to meet US smog standards. If this alone makes the car shittier from the US version, I wonder how you'd describe the difference between JDM 240 and USDM 240?
