a 94 Supra TT with 60k mile or a 98 Integra Type R with 8k mile? Supra TT has been my all time favorite, but the price is kind of out of my range. As for the ITR, I would probably just trade in my 97 Prelude SH and pay few hundred bucks. What do you guys think?

The Supra is a kick-ass car and I'd love to own one. Problem is, it's getting old and the ITR is almost new. I'd have to go with the ITR.

Lets see, a 94 with 60,000 miles, or a 98 with 8,000 miles. I'd go with the 98. But then again, the Supra is a rear wheel drive, limited slip twin turbo that looks like nothing else out there. The Type R will get you revs from every Honda/Acura/Mitsubishi/Ford/Chevy Cavalier that passes by, and well, it looks like every other Acura Integra out there.

I recant my previous opinion. Get the Supra, and for a few thousand dollars you can smoke the M3s that people on this board are desperately trying to keep up with. Damn fine cars, those Supras. They're no S2000s, but damn fine, nevertheless.

I personally would get the Supra. But, since you already own a RWD and you live in Vancouver. Do you really need another RWD? Is this going to be your daily driver? If so I would think you would need something else. But if not SUPRA all the way. Having driven one before, I can tell you it is a lot of fun, easy to modify, and the look is a head turner.

sorry guys, I forget to mention that I also own a NSX and S2000. If I get the ITR, then I'll have the Top 3 Honda in my garage
But again, I would love to have some fun with turbo monsters! If I could find a lower price Supra TT, I'll seattle with the TT I guess.

Even for slightly more $ than the Type-R, I'd go for the Supra, always loved those cars.

If you are using it as a daily driver, I'd go for the ITR. Newer and probably more reliable.

Yes, a tough call. Both are excellent cars. That Supra is stupid it's so freaking fast and the ITR is a great car in its own right.

Do you know the history of the Supra? I bet, as I would, that whoever owned it before drove the living poop out of it...and who knows what kind of hideous maintenance nightmares await the future owner of it.

The ITR would round out your garage of Hondas quite nicely. And I would bet my S2000 that the ITR would be more reliable and easier to take care of.

Tough call, but if you need it as a daily driver in Canada? The ITR, hands down...
