Now that you guys brought it up, I think the MSP does hold the title for the best handling FWD car on the road. I know I read that in SCC, but I've got a Car & Driver and a Motor Trend proclaiming the same thing. I know that the MSP generated both better slalom and skid pad numbers than the ITR, but I do remember the mags saying the ITR is more compliant and forgiving. One thing to consider is that the MSP does come with more aggressive tires than the ITR (even though the ITR tires we're bad at all). Chassis wise, I think the ITR is a better overall competition car and that's why you see then tearing it up. The ITR seams are welded which means a super stiff chassis and the B18C5 is more than capable of serious reliable 4-banger power. If I had to choose, it would be the ITR. It might handle fractionally worse, but it has quite a bit more potential.
