Hmm.. if you're referring to the current "non-sporty" 2.0 115hp "GTI", it
has NO chance against any Integra built since '90.  The base Integra
went to 140 hp that year and they're quite spunky.  The "GTI" is a dog with
fleas.

As for the GTI VR6, I've had one for approaching 2 years now, and while
I like the car in many ways, I hesitate to call it a "GTI" either.  Driving
the Scirocco is SO much more fun and enjoyable, it's really taken me back
to my roots.. I'm really a 4-cylinder guy, I've realized.  I'm not going
to keep the VR6 much beyond early next year.. the Scirocco I plan to keep
forever!
