I actually agree there.
One of my tests for these threads is whether the car is a sporting variant of a non-sports car (See BMW Mini One/Cooper, VW Golf non-GTI/R32, Ford Focus non-SVT/ST/RS). The M100 is the only car that I know of that passes all of the tests, but the 1989 (IIRC) Dodge Daytona IMSA FWD is another example. It passes this specific test, by virtue of being a tube-framed racer that had very little connection to a production Daytona, but it's a race car (debate whether that's a sports car goes elsewhere, m'kay?
).
But, the ITR comes damn close. Shame it's based on the Civic (and lower model Integras), or it would pass that test, too.
