Well... it wouldn't DESTROY a GSR in a drag race, but it SHOULD win, depending on the driver. I have an 05 RSX-S and I have beaten a couple of GSR's but I lost by a about half a car length to a type R.. but I also didn't warm up my tires. The type R has a limited slip differential, so it performs better on a circuit. Search auto-trader... look at only the expensive models integras 98-01, because most people still sell them for 16k +. But since you're interested in drag racing, you should probably just get a base model or special edition for cheap, and then drop a b18c5 in for an extra 4 to 4 1/2 g's.

a type r would destroy a gsr integra.Just look at 1320 et's Integra gsr 15.5itr-14.7so almost a second quicker. that might not be destroyed but it is quite faster. The type r has 25 more high reving horsepower and a couple foot pounds more of torque. It has a limited slip differential which helps to ensure both tires apply the same amount of power to the ground. Helps alot during launches. The type r also has smaller gear ratios to help it accelerate faster. It is also around a 100 pounds lighter then the gsr too. non drag related has better, stiffer suspension componets. Better rims and tires, bigger brakes. Theres more, the type r is one of the best front wheel drive cars there are. Unfortunately it is hard to find good working ones that have not been molested and that are stock. The exterior should be left alone on a type r. Rims spoiler, the only thing that would do is a jdm front. Check autotrader.com, mostly ebay, and other online car sites. Be willing to look for a while and be willing to go farther then south florida for pickup.http://www.itrsport.com/specifications.html

your not gonna find a stock type-r or even a type-r period up for sale unless you really look hard or import one one from Japan. any way it would destory it they both top at a about 150 the type-r just has more hp at top end. but you could beat it with a modified gsrsearch around on team-integra.net and you can find out specs and stuff for it

Type R's are faster right out of the box, but don't spend the extra 10 or 15k on a type R just buy a GSR and take it to an import shop and give them the extra 10k and I guarantee that you will have a car that is faster than a type R.If you really want a Type R check ebay most of them seem to be concentrated around Cali though. But since the import scene in Florida is pretty good you might find one there but it may or may not be stock.
