If you have to baby it any tranny holds up. And the car hooks at a high enough roll which is what he only does on the street and it has boost by gear. With the right amount of money/builds you can make anything fast. Its a sleeper to most people on the road. And is a clean integra thats not riced out.
At high rolls with sticky tires and a **** ton of power (550+) you'll start stripping 4 gears. Impact loads crack the case and thats the biggest problem.
You can beat the **** out of the synchros, thats what they are their for.

Car can move thats for sure!
That M3 had alot more more weight. That race from a 40mph roll is kinda goofy but whatever.
Im not into most of the rice cars just because I dont feel they are comfortable. They are gutted to be light and have thin interiors. Ill cruise in my 3800 pig and just make up for it with HP. To each their own.

The integra interiors are also alot better then anything GM made in the same time span imo.

I like how you compare a Type r top of the line in honda world to a rs base *** camaro with cloth. And hondas feel like **** over 100mph. I got to ride in that green integra when it was at 400whp and it felt sketchy and ive been im my friends old hatch at 130 and it felt like its getting ready to fall apart. And all of them had a full interior. they may be fine for driving around town to the store and back but are sketchy as hell at higher speed

Lol. Interior really has nothing to do with crashing. Feeling comfortable is one thing. Crashing is another. For instance, take this F150 here. Big truck right? Or big bitch?

Funny observation and I don't mean this to be a *****, maybe a little cynical. We give the nod in the video to the Honda which makes some say it's due to the weight savings being a reason which is a very good point. Its followed by it being an implied rattle trap, then followed by crash testing stuff. What has SRK come to that we even give a crap about crash test ratings and rattling being any sort of asterisk mark in a race?
Honda won*
*it's a rattle trap and isn't 5 star crash rated which means its still FTL!!

When you add 1000 lbs of course its gonna feel more stable at high speeds. But I disagree that its scary past 100mph. Bigger brakes, good suspension and nice tires go a long way.
I drove my buddies Z28 around and its a completely different experience. You really need to drive something like an Integra to appreciate how much better a lighter car feels. Everyone who has driven my car comes back saying how fun it was.
But I couldnt see myself ever driving a stripped hatch.
