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.
damn. does this mean if someone was to build a time attack dc2r they are wasting their time with an inferior platform?
it was always my dream to put a k series in my dc2 and turn it into a time attack car.. but if its true that the chassis is inferior too then i would be very sad indeeed =/
