From the Archives... DC2R vs. DC5S Review (Speed Magazine)

[freakygeek]

Thought I would post this up here, some may not have seen it...

Hm they don't really "test" the cars do they? this guy kinda just drives each car and then states what "feels" faster/better. Does anyone have that article with the dc2r vs dc5r vs dc5s. They had timmed runs in that.

[Jingers]

yup and that artical says the same thing in essence to this artical.

[tinkerbell]

i would take "twitchy" and "really wants to step out" over "opulent" and "composed" any day...

[BrendanR]

But the dc2r won in the other article haha

[Jingers]

lol u dc2 boys

what happens if you do intake/headers/exhauast + 16x7 wheels + 215/45/16 tyres to a DC2R?

will it gain overall grip and enough power to be faster than the S?

probably

Indeed, and that's all it matters.

However at the end of the day, I will always expect a newer car to be better than its predecessor.

I enjoyed reading that article. I've read it a couple of times now.

If you were to "forget" one of the three cars (DC2R, DC5R and Type-S), you'd forget the Type-S first, then you'd forget the DC5R... the DC2R will never be forgotten though. It's legendary in my eyes as it's not compromised in any way at all, especially in comparisson to the DC5R and even more so the Type-S.

Well in the motor mag the dc2r won the quickest straight line sprint. But note all 3 integras were extremely similar, came down to miliseconds.

So the conclussion in the motor mag was that the dc2r came out on top because it was the oldest car but due to its weight advantage could still take on a type s in the straight.
