I have trouble believing some of you have ever seen a race much less been in one. The Acura type R is a fantastic race car because of HANDLING. It has the racing trophies(SCCA) to prove it as well. 4cyl 195hp non-turbo at 23-25k. Name one car in its class that can compete with it. Don't bother, you'll just look like an idiot.
