dc5r or dc2r-what would you prefer?

i agree with above but i wouldn't waiste that much money on a daily. best daily is something that is cheap all round. example being like a barina or laser ;)
that way you have more to spend modding the dc2r!

Dc2r ftw!

Dc2r > dc5r

bloody oath there greater :), plus they just look sxc and sleek.
seeing those taillights in the distance always makes my day.
DC2R!

C'mon thats a bit harsh on the DC5 ITR! They are a brilliant car lets not 'kid ourselves. Just the DC2 ITR does it better!

Hmm... IMHO if you can afford to run the ITR's every day & not rack up too many km's on it (its not like they run 18L/100km if you drive them half nicely). Life's too short I say!

k20a>b18c7

double wishbone > mcpherson strut

jdm dc5r face lift hands down

im sure the lanevos use macpherson struts. i guess they must not handle as well as the dc2r ;)

In Japan the DC2 is considered a very old car now. Tuners don't really do anything with them anymore. The K20 powered DC5 is a far superior car and when modded is better again. Sure, the DC2 has double wishbone suspension which lends itself to easier tuning and set up but at the end of the day the DC5 improves on everything, despite what the purists would say.

The Australian delivered DC5 wasn't the full bag of goodies but was still quite strong for a $45k package.

Looking at the extreme end of modification like my car, the gap between the DC5 and DC2 becomes even greater. The chassis is far superior and does a much better job of putting extra power down. If anyone disagrees you're more than welcome to build a similar DC2 and prove me wrong. :)

Its not fuel economy and stuff like that, its insurance service and repairs. u had urself a pile of crap as a daily, you find how to service it yourself and you will have a thicker wallet and you will have a faster dcr2 in the garage :P
DC2R ftw
