type-s > dc5r > dc2r
that is all.
DC2R is the pure thoroughbred racer. Lightweight and nimble. Not another chance at profit or market share. (Honda actually made a loss over-engineering it)
the AUDM DC5R comes no where near it, neither the type S in terms of purity and race pedigree.
The JDM DC5R however I have read differently about; though never experienced it.
Before anybody flames me and throws 0 - 100 times at me this is not about which is a faster car. Yes the K-series is a better engine and the DC5R chassis is built from scratch and is a lot stiffer.
I am talking about the driver enjoyment the car offers and it being fit for intended use. Not 'de-tuned' or 'softened' to conform with the target market of the nation.
Be that as it may - I think whatever car, Type R Honda's offer something alot more engaging than most other car companies out there and are ahead of the others.
Pitty most have been discontinued going forward. But I guess profits talk hey...
i was in the same position not long ago.
i went with the dc2r, picked it up with 68000kms and i would never look back.
i drove a dc5r afterwards, and so glad i didnt buy.
what leaned me towards the dc2r was its rawness.
the dc5r is newer yes, and maybe does have more potential, but.. dc2r, original.
comes down to personal preference, just dont make the wrong choice.
I lived in Japan for a few years, and my mates would always say its about originality. (dc2 = classic ) fair enough jdm spec stuff is better than what we have here, but i was always turned on more by a roaring dc2r than the now very common dc5anything. ever heard a 10000rpm battle around suzuka circuit? :D as a uni student, all i could afford back in aus was a dc2 vti-r.. go the classics yo
Do you prefer Macs to a PCs? Would you rather an Xbox then a PS3?
Only way to settle this; decide if you're a DC5 fanboy or a DC2 fanboy
Personally i love my PC, PS3 and DC5 (Given that I haven't bought any PS3 games; still waiting for that mod chip)
cupnoodle is the man !
lol I WANT BOTH OF THEM. I just need to find a way to go for a ride in both of them now, lol that could be very hard.
Get the DC2R, can't go wrong
Get the DC5R, can't go wrong

be the better man and get the DC5S
