DC5S or Euro

**damienm** · 10-12-2008 11:50 AM

basically what im trying to say is that when youre spending that much for a performance car, go with a RWD, its much more fun than the type R thats y i said rx8,350z,S15,S2k

And I mean you should know from driving a type R that a RX8, s15 (stock), wrx(stock), Monaro, commodore ss & heaps other would not be much competition for the Type S & R.

stock vs stock off the line a jap spec S15, wrx, monaro and commodore SS would rip the integras

Whereas i find that there are many alternatives (S2k,350z,rx8,S15) other than the DC5s as i find that its quite slow for a performance car.

Agree !

and am not just saying that cause I have a euro. I'm actually selling if anyone is interested ! ?? lol

however the euro's power delivery I think makes it very drivable in every day traffic and like it has been said, when u wana give it to it, it will surprisingly keep up with many sports cars out there. put a CAI on it and it will also sound like a sports car when u have the pedal floored !

Ive seriosuly taken a stock monaro & s15, will admitt after about 140kmh the monaro started pulling and jumped in front. but the stock s15 was no problem. havent tried against a wrx yet or a ss commodore but going of the monaro run ide imagine it would be similar.

Only problem is alot of the above cars that are on the road these days arent stock, almost every single one of them has something done to make it go quicker, especially the s15's, i think it would be almost impossible to find one that hasnt been boosted or tweeked in one way or another!

There are lots of other cars which are faster, but this isn't a thread about what's better than a DC5S or a Euro. Also the original poster did mention about keeping the DC5S stock in post 4.

Did you hit your head...What the fu*K...not much competition?
Maybe neck and neck an rx8 but a wrx would rip you buddy( stock).
wrx has not got much after 130-140 but your teg has nothing after that either.
A well driven Accord Euro will be competition enough to make you sweat in your S but the turbos will smash ya.

I really wanted a DC5R back in '04, but the missus said no. Something about not liking hatchbacks.
I showed her the Euro and she was sold. It was the closest thing I could find to a Type R.

The newer DC5S are nice. Just missing out on the LSD. If you are going to mod it, go the DC5S with out a doubt. Heaps more tunability and parts available.

If you want to leave it stock, a CL9 Lux can be had for pretty cheap now. They are such a wonderful car.

Make sure you get a manual in both......

The cars I mentioned (s15 & WRX) all make similar power and weigh about the same as the intgras, I cant speak about the WRX becuase i havent actually raced one as im kinda a bitch on the roads atm cause i just got my licence back, but a stock 200 pftttt, thats no problem,besides when u have a squirt on the roads its usually stop and go anyway??

true, thats y i said as a luxury car, the euro is excellent. and the integra as a performance car, theres many other alternatives.

Just because a car weighs similar or has similar power doesn't mean you are as quick or quicker than it....Just like some cars make 350hp on a dyno and gets ripped by another in a drag that makes 300hp, even if it weighs the same.
The wrx makes its power in the 3000-6500 rpm range which is gonna do it a whole lot more good than an integra which makes its power from 6000 onwards.
Anyway both are nice cars but i think the euro has aged better.

ok no point mentioning the jdm s15, coz u cant compare a jdm s15 to an audm dc5s. lets just pretend u said audm s15, now all those cars u just mentioned have similar 0-100 times so i dont know what ur on about..
