Integra (DC2) vs Corrado VR6
Discussion
Possibility I might be offered a late VR6 Corrado. It got me thinking, another (iconic to me) car I come back to time and time again is an ITR.
So, pointless to compare them, utterly different cars, need to decide what I want? Has anyone owned both & has any observations?
Neither will be a daily, neither will be garaged and both will in large measure be to tick a box.
Cheers for any input.

Thanks for all the responses fellas.
In many respects this confirms all that I've read, they're very different, both great, but likely for me the ITR is the more appropriate. I'm lucky to already have use of 6 cylinders, and the ITR would allow me to occasionally track it. That it's a homologation special in essence is great, that it can be frustrating but wonderful when you access that special 10% is also fine. I want a challenge!

Both cool cars, but both daily drivers IMO, not weekend warriors. Although the DC2 is special enough to take for a blast just for the shear hell of it. The Corrado, well I'm sure it's nice, but I think it's a car you'd enjoy driving because you are going somewhere, rather than simply going for a drive to enjoy the car.
Kind of agree, ITR's great but no Elise/Caterham/Westfield etc. Part of the logic is that it's usable, occasionally fulfilling commuting etc. I'm trying to enjoy naturally aspirated, revvy cars for as long as possible
I had hoped the usual PH bickering antics wouldn't apply to this thread!
Sounds like they're perhaps more comparable than I thought, though still quite different cars. ITR's probably my preference but that's in large measure due to what it would be used for. The parts issue on the Corrado could be a concern, I'm use to old cars with easily accessible spares, though you often pay for the privilege!

Once again, thanks for the feedback fellas, in particular from those who've owned them.
This was the kind of feedback I wanted, seems most owners were pleased with their decision, and whichever one they bought it met their needs, perhaps this is where they differ, you might not have considered the other. Plus I guess they're of slightly different times etc.
Think I'll be passing on the possible VR6 opportunity.

I've heard mention of the spoiler a few times, is it something you can see in your rear view mirror?
I've a car where you can just about see one once fully up, though to be fair I mainly check to see it's still working on such an old car! Think I'll have to see if there's a clip on utube, bound to be really!
