The DE5 and FL5 motors are the exact same, tune is only difference from what I understand.

No, you want to remain as close to horsepower peak as possible for maximum acceleration. I believe that’s 6,500rpm so running to 7k redline will keep you near that peak.

Yes, 100% stock. I'll see if I can do higher speed testing down the road as I would also like to see the acceleration ability in 6th gear.

Interestingly enough, it's 80-140mph speed is almost identical to my '24 GRC. They are both right at 17 seconds.

I do like there is a specific physical button for individual mode so it takes less than a second to hit that button after starting the car.

Don't forget historical reliability between Audi and Honda/Acura isn't really close at all. Definitely taking a risk owning an Audi, especially out of warranty. Nice cars though!

I'm rich in spirit, moreso than money. :D It's all relative for sure. When you make $50k, $100k may be rich, $100k, maybe $250k is rich. $250k, maybe a million is rich, etc. You have stratification of the top couple percent and it can be dramatic and I'm on the lower end, for sure. :D...

It would be a death trap too unless the chassis and dimensions were beefed up along with beefier suspension and brakes, airbags, side protection, etc. (i.e. weight). Also, a death trap for people that can't drive either as I bet that thing would rotate and turn unlike any other car on the...

At absolute limits on the track, you're asking a lot of the front tires to provide lateral and longitudinal forces. You only have 100% grip at each tire. The rear tires are along for the ride, for the most part, in a FWD application. I still think an otherwise equal, but RWD, Type R or ITS...

Park Place Acura in Plano, TX sold me my ITS at sticker well basically $200 over sticker but that included full tint, cargo mat, all-season mats throughout interior, and wheel locks. I'd say I got a good deal. I did trade a $42k MSRP '24 Corolla GR for a $40k trade-in with 1,500 miles on it...

I think the ITS is amazing overall, but I just think it would be a touch more amazing with RWD. That's my whole point. Honda has done an amazing job stretching the envelope way behind what was historically thought possible with a FWD platform, but it's still limited in absolute performance...

I mean a new one! The S2000 was gone after '08 (I owned an '05 S2000 for about 3 years, awesome car) and while the 2nd gen NSX was nice, it never did anything for me. I would and did own a 991.2 GT3 instead of the NSX and the P-car was much better overall in pretty much everyway. If Honda...

Happy to have bought an ITS a few weeks ago. It's quickly becoming one of my top 5 cars I've owned and I've owned/currently own some nice ones. It just drives so nice. It makes me wonder what Honda could do with a high quality rwd platform. That is my only minor complaint is FWD.

Congrats! Figured it wouldn't last long. You got ALL the accessories. :D

Ouch, I really like the GRC, it just wasn't going to work long term for the reason I needed a evening/weekend haul family around while having fun sedan. The suspension, that amazing 3 cylinder turbo, the brakes, the nimble/go-kart like handling were a blast. One thing I neglected to mention...

For sure. The 5BW can very easily be a nice daily driver and it is every bit as sophisticated (even moreso) than the ITS, but with rear wheel drive and more than double the hp and torque. My ZR1 and the 5BW are part of my “permanent” keepers so I don’t rack up a ton of miles on them. I’ll...

Good morning guys and gals! New poster and new ITS owner as of yesterday afternoon. Traded a beautiful red '24 GR Premium in on the white with black/red interior Type S at my local dealer in Plano, TX. So....why you may ask? I know some of you have driven and/or owned both. So, comments...
