Keepers: Acura Integra Type R—Community
Though Acura is the upscale division of Honda, the Integra still reaps the aspects—both positive and negative—of being related to a car group that’s considered by many to be the most exuberant, extroverted, and insanely-dedicated collection of import enthusiasts in the world. Yes, that’s the group that often receives the criticism for the wings, the stickers, and bumblebee exhaust, and to be honest, some of it may be deserved. But when it comes to truly wicked performance rides like the Integra Type-R, there’s no shame in bowing to the Honda performance Gods, and once you get past the show-before-go crowd, the Integra enthusiast community is truly an exciting place to be.

Hold on a second you V-8 guys and gals. This isn’t some stickered up import left over from the set of The Fast and The Furious. In fact, it’s not really stickered up at all, save for the blazing red Rs plastered on both rear quarter panels and the back hatch. These red emblems weren’t purchased at local parts stores, however; they were installed at the factory, along with a host of engine and suspension upgrades that turned the Integra into a true performance legend.
