Re: Scirocco Rice

["Doug Teulie" <IDougT@email.msn.com>]

Integra Type R is not that much fun to auto-x. The GSR is no fun on the
track
compared to the MK1 Scirocco.

Why? Because it is a road car.

In fact Integra Type R is almost as fun to drive as a Scirocco 16v
with good suspension. The Integra is way too smooth and way to comfortable
on
the ride side. The seats suck. 8000 rpm with no hart is not that much fun.
But what do I know about Integra?
