I don't like how the article treats 1998 like old school. It's praising the hell out of the lack of a bulky airbag filled interior, mechanical throttle cable, and lack of stability control, but if you keep going back there are perps to mechanical systems that cars older than the ITR have. It seems a bit biased. A lot of the praise just come from being an older car, only 1/5th of that article is actually ITR specific. "Simpler gauges, mechanical throttle cable, simpler interior, lighter chassis, modern tires on an old lightweight chassis crazy skidpad numbers, etc."
