Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[RoidRage]

Skipped the m2, probably out of my budget lol. Any news for your GRC? FL5, it might be dead but no news on anything. ITS, one dealer asked me to submit colours yesterday so maybe. Might just end up with the ITS. If all fails, I’ll just lease a wrx in the meantime.

I was offered a core, said no thanks. Circuit Edition or bust. My guess is the market is going to be flooded with them come 2-3 years. Core not worth my time lol.

I agree, cloth seats and basic interior for the price they are asking doesn't make sense.

I'm OK with yhe cloth seats, was going to replace with brides anyways. But all the other stuff that is missing for the price is a no go for me. Even if it's worth a boat load right now.

I have a GRC Core. IMO Circuits aren't worth the extra ~$8k for a lot of cosmetic stuff. Drivetrain is 100% identical. But I have a deposit on CTR and ITS, will likely trade in the GRC.

It's not about the extras of what u get for the price, it's about the rarity of the car itself.

Agreed, CE or bust. Core was not an option lol. If it does get flooded, wonder if we can grab a core for cheap to throw it around lol.

According to this article: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/can...ng-table-as-federal-workers-hit-picket-lines/

it looks like federal port workers will be on strike. “The union, however, has said that federal port workers will be on strike, potentially causing supply chain disruptions.”

wonder if this will delay cars coming in from Japan…

Man I might be crazy and or ungrateful but I’m seriously considering trading/selling in my FL5 for the ITS.

Probably short sighted on my part but…

Why do you want to trade?

Why do you want to trade?

The best way to explain it is that I see the CTR like a GT3 and I see the ITS as a GTS and as much as I like the idea of the GT3 I think the GTS is more appropriate for myself. I think that there is a whole whack of people that would appreciate the CTR more than myself. With that being said I actually love the Type R and I love all the people that hit me up when I’m out and about, and the kids taking pictures of the car when I’m at Starbucks and stuff. I don’t know I just think if I can get a similar car with a tad more old man creature comforts it’s a win win.

Maybe switching to 18" will give you the comfort you are looking for.
will NOT give up the FL5, it is a rare opportunity to own one.

No the GTS 911 has a different motor compared to the GT3 911.

a better comparison would be the:
GT3 with the wing = CTR
GT3 TOURING = ITS

Same engine, same chassis but the GT3 touring doesn’t have the wing and is more streetable as is the ITS.

I have to agree with everyone else that the ITS will not be as competitive as the R, which is not a bad thing just a different audience. To @POPNTEC's point like a "GTS". Acura said it themselves, the car is going to be setup for the street. So maybe less aggressive engine tuning, mapping? Suspension tuning would be different. All the things that mattered for the R to be a track weapon wouldn't apply here.
