Perhaps I answered my own question. The Type R was really a factory example of the overall performance that the entire tuner market was going after (barring turbo stuff). But again, in my eyes, it would be like getting all hot and bothered over a COPO 1968 Camaro. You can duplicate that level of performance, a thousand times over, but because GM made the car that way, people lose their shit. I just don't feel that way about cars I guess. I don't believe in paying extra for "cultural significance."

At that point, the car becomes literally NO different than a piece of fine art. I don't believe in that, nor do I believe in cars as investments. Sorry for the rant...

Perhaps to illustrate how much I don't get it, but also that I'm trying not to be totally biased, I would much rather drive/own your 94 Prelude VTEC. More torque, same acceleration, more comfortable and better ride. Hell it even had good steering and a good shifter. And plenty of RPMs.

The LSD in the SH model was also really good as far as FWD LSDs go.
