ITRCA

would a 98 typer chassis with a ls vtec turbo engine still be considered a type r?

I'll say no.

You live in Phoenix... well last month during the Barrett-Jackson auction it was noted that if a Chevelle SS came up on the block but no longer had the SS matching engine, it would not be sold as an SS.

Thus, no, it's not a Type-R.

thats true, i watched it on tv and do remember that, but still love it as much. just had my 00 ITR ripped off yesterday so this is all i got left, thx for the opinion.
