How do you define faster. There isnt much difference between 200bhp and 250bhp on the road. Maybe half a car length.

I love them but for the price ill stick with my Lude. Sooo much better for basically the same ish car.

Dunno really faster on a track is different from faster on the street which would normally be straight lines I guess.
I can't believe 50bhp is half a length but then as I said to more factors.

This sort of discussion could go on all night

it's like the chicken and the egg... No I'm not asking

Dc5

Only good thing about them is the k20 and lsd box.

Plenty off downsides to. Lost count of the number that have fitted coilovers to try improve handling to then find the geometry of the car cant be set right as it knocks it to pop. You then have the prehistoric rear suspension setup as a cost saving measure.

Really this is all news to me.. I've always believed the hype of the best handling car.. Clearly not

I meant trying to shave seconds off track times compared to offending cars in the same category of the same value money is best spent elsewhere IMO

That was the DC2 as the best FWD handling car. And MY lude IS AS fast as an EP3

I like DC5's and with some nice wheels and a decent drop they do look amazing.

Plus the only reason I would have a DC5 is ..... K20 JRSC...

As @thebusofwoe says that was the dc2

There's a reason the 90's were the naughty 90's for Honda as that's when they produced there best cars by far, don't get me wrong the k20 etc are great engines but Honda saved money elsewhere on the ep3's/dc5 etc to compensate for this.

Performance wise even from standing start I left a dc5 for dead in my old bb4 (wasn't exactly standard). Was really funny at the time cause I remember him sitting at the lights laughing as we were side by side, that smug look was soon gone tho as all he seen was the prelude's rear end
