Yip, Id be keen to hear them,
and BTW, you cant compare an Integra and a P1, the P1 costs over £30000, the Teg around £20000, so you cant say "regardless of the cost", because the cost of the car has a big influence on its performance, and if you spend that much more you are obvuously going to get a huge hike in performance.
Hopefully you arent silly enough to try and compare such totally different cars, as you may or may not have noticed, the comparison is between the comparitevly priced std Turbo and the Teg, which arent a world apart in performance, not your much more expensive P1.
It would be much more relevent if you went and boasted about it in a "want to know how my Evo 6 compares to a P1" thread.

Yep, should make good reading. There was a good comparison back in Evo number 2 or something waaaay back, so it'd be good to see what people think now.

So, how long do we have to wait? its been 10 minutes already!!
Though old, I am still part of the internet generation (or is that "geriatrics"?), and hate waiting for stuff on the net.

Where is it? I just hit Refresh, and its STILL not there? man, Im going to go jam on my Nintendo.

Had a type r for 6 weeks traded it in for the p1 best move i ever made in my option the type r was under powered and you had to ring the nuts out of it to make it go,handling was ok but its easy to get that right on a slow car.I love my p1 it is in a different league regardless of price.

Thumbs up

Been there, done it.

In my MY99, I was 3 up - Teg 2 up, around roundabouts and straights and left the Teg on both. I did notice that when I was along side his engine was caught off 'cam' a couple of times. Perhaps he wasn't as adept a driver as InteraR? Anyway the difference was visible if not huge.

PS on private roads of course!

mmm... my experiance has been very much equal with standard scoobies at track days. Sometimes I'm faster, sometimes they are, but not much either way. And I'm not the worlds most stunning driver. Very different cars but I think peformance is about equal. The mod'd and high spec scoobs are probably a step up though.

I also reckon that the integra takes a lot more "getting used to". I've had "driving instructors" take the wheel only to go slower and messier than I can drive. Fairly painful I've also sat next to folk like Simon DB & Don Palmer who're a little more together than I can manage... so I my feeling is that the car doesnt flatter you as much as some others (I may even go as far to say stuff like the TT and clk are even more "flattering" - though a comment like that is sure to **** someone off )

So (leaping to the defence of my itr ) I wouldnt wright it off.

Diablo - whattcha waiting for ??
