Think you find the Focus RS was and still is the best FWd handling car with its LSD.
Granted type r has very good handling for a FWD car.
As for the question. 6.5 seconds to 60 for the Integra. I believe the integra would beat the 2.0 corsa and sound alot better too
Rubbish! Never seen a good review about the Focus RS only ever heard about the amazing handling of the Integra and Fiat coupe Turbo!!

type R driver went straight home
Integra will see it away no worries
utter bawbags... the civic driver couldnt drive his finger up his nose
the CTR is slightly quicker than a DC2 ITR.... not much in it but its slightly quicker... fact!

DC2 ITR is quicker than the DC2 due to weight, even though it has less BHP.
DC2 0-60 6.2
DC5 0-60 7.1 (evo.co.uk stats)
Both would beat a 2.0 corsa in a straight line.
ITR would beat the vast majority of cars round corners, my 106 gti was excellent but the Teg is another level.
As for the CTR-ITR comments, ITR is marginally quicker on paper but in the real world there isnt really anything in it, just depends on gear changing, driver etc. I raced a CTR with exhaust in my standard DC2 Integra from 20-120mph and there was nothing in it.

The old shape Civic Type R is quickest to 60 due to its weight and gearing, think it does it in 5.7!
Thats the one I would have, rare and expensive tho!

My CTR driver does not know how to drive. He probably didnt rev it past 6000rpm
