So what? Should there be a poll?

[The_Canuck]

I'll take the Integra because its more practical...and an integra.

Your other comparison made more sense. The F7R-powered Renault coupe against the type-R Accord, IIRC...

The S2000 vs. Renault Spider would make more sense. 2-seaters, RWD, convertible, etc

I agree, but out of those 2, I take the Renault, with a windscreen please...

i agree with this man

[LotusLocost]

Sport spider of course..
It's so unpractical.. you just have to love it

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

I think this is a great comparison, another that I've actually had to stop and think about!

I'll take the Integra... brand loyalty and practicality and weather protection and whatnot

i don't think those numbers on the integra are right. in the states its sold as an acura rsx (type s) and its got 200 hp. i'm pretty sure the 05 model bumped that up to 205 hp. my dad has one and he lets me drive it every so often, its amazing, but the shifter could be a little better (less stiff).

If I'm not mistaken at first there also was available a 160bhp version.

The Honda Integra Type-R was marketed for Japan, and the version before was also available in Europe. The horsepower was mildly changed in Japan to 220bhp.

Do not assume that America is the world, specs change a lot in different countries. The Integra is marketed as a hardcore, stripped-out sportscar in Japan, quite contrary to the luxury image of Acura in America.

I heard that the Integra is like driving an S2000... I'd love to have a go, shame that Honda decided not to let us have it

The Type iS seen here is the lesser version, with less tuning.

I think the pictures of the Type R have confused everybody.

I'd take the Renault, without the windscreen and in blue, it just looks awesome.

What cars would be the best competition for the Renault Super Spider?

Lotus Elise
Tommy ZZ

Which would win?........I vote Elise

How about the proposed Lotus Track Car and the Ariel Atom? Too track oriented?

EDIT: Added pic of "Track Car".

[Rockefella]

This comparo sucks. However, the Renault for me.

Lotus Elise

Its more MR2 than Elise.
