You can have a car that turns fast laps, but has horrible handling and balance (all that takes is enough power to pass the better handling cars in the straights). ITR is not the fastest car by any means (especially compared with modern cars of course), Balance is usually defined as how the car behaves at/near the limit of adhesion, or at least in the upper 20% grip range. Unlike acceleration, which you usually try to maximize, balance is something you 'target'. Most car makers target understeer because they want the front end to slide before the rear end. Honda decided 'neutral' was right for the ITR, because that is what you need to be fast and accurate on a race track. One more example - I recently drove the F458 on track - one of the fastest and best handling street cars you can put your body in. Pretty sure few would disagree with that. The handling and balance of that car is BRILLIANT on a race track. The handling and balance of the ITR at the same track (from experience) is just about the same. There are slight differences in driving style between FWD and RWD on a track through corners, but the precision, control and balance of the cars is actually remarkably similar. Both have crisp/accurate turn-in and smooth, controllable lift-throttle oversteer.

And - you are achieving all that with FWD ! The other 2 should outshine the ITR in this regard, but they don't because Honda performed a miracle here. I give the nod to S2K for quick steering ratio but that is only helpful for autocrossing, not road racing. I give the nod to NSX for forward visibility (unequalled except maybe for my 88 Civic hatch) and telepathic manual steering (also unequalled except for maybe the 88 Civic).

Conversely, you will not find a single car like the one above today, tomorrow, or perhaps for years.\n\nNext, like the $60K ITR and $33K CRX that sold a few weeks ago, perhaps you, and most definitely me, cannot afford to even purchase a $60K car, never mind one just to, perhaps, fill a slot in your collection. But many others here not only can afford cars with this price tag, but ones with far higher, and many on this site own not 5 or 10 cars, but 30 or 40 and more. For many members here, they collect actual cars the way many of us, as kids, collected Hot Wheels.

Even though my Corrado was much faster (due to mods), the ITR in stock form was naturally a more focused and performance-oriented car. A better performance car, period. The pedigree is undeniable. It took me 100 yards to realize it. Look at the bits. Experience the feel. Pedigree, interesting parts, rarity, driving feel, lightness, and responsiveness. The ITR is a far more significant car than the Corrado and worth far more - even if Corrados in original condition are now rare. The ITR is that special. And the listing stats (views, follows, and bids) confirm that. It is far more special than the STI. And not comparable to the GSR. And to be clear: I am not a Honda or JDM fanboy. I much prefer German cars and vintage European sports cars. \r\n\r\nYou just need to admit you don't get it and move on. I don't get why people bid six figures on purple Barracudas.
