SPY photo of Evo and RSX-type r

I don't have a scanner but Evo shoots and RSX r in Auto weekly give you a taste of what the car looks like stock. There pictures show no wing and the side and rear ground skirts look just like OZ but front has a look kind of like the spy shoots in Las Vegas but not as round and more defined. I love the damn thing and dream about it at night I wish they would just get the thing in the US and give us a MSRP.

O yeah the RSX type R is very cool looking but $5000 only gets you a suspension upgrade, a wing ,17" rims and rubber but not one motor upgrade might as well call it the type-L (for looks)

The RSX type R is a great looking car, but nothing does it for me more than an evo.

If you're referring to the Factory Performance Package offered on the Type S in the US, that is nothing close to the Type R.

exactly, its all show. it also adds like $3 grand to the price making it closer to $30 grand. There's so many other cars you can get for that price with better performance.

Nope, only Type-R's available in the states are '98 and '00 Integra Type-R. Fairly hard to find, nowadays.

Actually..... USA got - 1997's (white), 1998's (white), 2000 (black or yellow) and 2001 (black or yellow).

There quite a few after all of that. I had a 1997 and did not like it too much. RWD is better.... AWD will be even better.

Well the facts are in and the price is to high.If you are spending around 30k that is a bad deal. The best bang for the buck is the 350Z until jan that is. The only problem is that dealers are not taking the 26k to 30k market real. And that is were there going to lose there *** on the performance market. The only car that is going to change that is a new car Dodge is working on called the "Razor" that is a 2door roadster that is a turbo 4 and under 18k. But I will believe it when I see it and that might bring a new mighty low to performance car standerds.(o yeah its still a Dodge).

I don't see the Type R making it over here anytime soon... and I imagine that if it ever did that it'd be close to 40K.

About the Razor, that and the Pontiac Solstice (the major difference is that the Solstice is supercharged versus turbo'd) are both supposedly being researched, and both should ticket for under 22K. They would be a good deal if Dodge and Pontiac could get their respective acts together. Supposedly the Solsitce is closer to actual production than the Razor (the concept was initially named after the then-popular scooters, coincedentally).

Oh, and my guess on the Razor that if it was put into production is that it will utilize the PT Turbo/SRT-4 engine. That would be pretty cost-effective, and would make for a *****in' little roadster.

Yeah, I saw the concept and If it even remotely looks like the concept car and does have a hell of a punch with the SRT motor it will spank the miata and MR2 roadster world.Maybe even give the S2000 a bad day at the stoplight racing action.The $20K market gets better looking everyday. I also saw the Masda speed protege 5 to and it was very nice from brakes to steering wheel and not to mention the turbo charged 4 for some were in the $25-26k range ......nice . (but its no EVO )
