In America, it's a novelty for sure, plenty of JDM fans will admire you for it.

But tbh, it's nothing special, not particularly fast in straight line or race track, especially by today's standard. I still remember it being able to beat a DC5-R around Tsukuba (best motoring video, race was stock to stock), but not by much and it was becasue of the straight line power.

I came from Hong Kong and I've seen these things plenty of times, so the novelty doesn't have any effect on me. These cars don't go for much in Asia, and I am just shocked at how much people pay for these in America.

Just my opinion OP. Not insulting your decision in any way. Enjoy your new journey, whatever you choose.

PS: if I remember correctly...the six speed box can't take as much power as the previous gen 5 speed. Car has VLSD. Not sure if this generation sr20det is better suited for big power or not.
