The GS-R was the top level trim line available on their mass production models. They have a different engine from the other/lesser models. The Type R was a very limited production model, first produced in 1997 only in white with red badging, with lots of style & performance upgrades (later it was produced in greater numbers & other colors during a couple of other model years). Here’s some history of the Integra. > **[Acura Integra Review - Research New & Used Acura Integra Models](https://www.edmunds.com/acura/integra/)** > > Read Acura Integra reviews & specs, view Acura Integra pictures & videos, and get Acura Integra prices & buying advice for both new & used models here.

@sciconf the Type R had 17 more hp, more torque, a higher redline, and a longer VTEC-engaged RPM range. That along with the chassis lightening and other tuning mods meant the GSR wasn’t even in the same league, although especially for the time the GSR was a fantastic car in its own right. ---

An automatic Integra with 100k+ is worth 10% or so of that $43k not 50%. Don’t put money into the car thinking you will ever get it back. Do it for pleasure or need but not financial gain. Integra Type R is rare car coupled to desirability and low mileage in that example. Your car unfortunately lacks desirability, rarity and low mileage.
