Well, to be accurate, the FD3S did not OWN SoloII or ProSolo from '93-'00. It was the dominate car but SS was heavily populated with C4 owners as well (who griped incessantly about how the RX-7 was underclassed). If you look up National results from those years, you'll see that RX-7's and C4's were the primary competitors ... with the RX-7 usually coming out on top. And as far as being very competitive, well, that depends on your definition of 'very competitive'. I can put down my best run of the day where I'm 2-inches from every slalom cone, at the limit of adhesion on every sweeper and I'll still be at least 1-2 second behind the Z06's. (For you non-autocrossers, 1-2 seconds is a LOT of time.)

ITR's are actually pretty popular in SoloI ... I can't remember which class it is. But, this thread was started about the RSX-R or S, whichever you should choose. RSX's are pretty popular in the STS/STX classes here in SoloII. Not really all that fast, but moderately competitive ... considering that they're allowed intake, catback, and suspension modifications in STS/STX.

The JDM Integra (RSX) Type-R is a formidable car. The 280ps JDM FD will handily outaccelerate the Type-R, and turn quicker lap times. The 93-95 US market FD should also beat it in outright acceleration. A track showdown between the US FD and the new JDM Type-R would be a closer competition. The Type-R has the benefit of more modern tires, Brembo four-pot brakes, and a trick helical front diff. On the track, it would probably come down to driver skill.

To make it clear, I'm not referring to the Integra Type-R that was available in the US 97-01, but the new JDM version.
