DC5
The steering is amazing, so you wont be disappointed there.
60 onwards is where it feels quick to me, especially as its so light.
I'm really excited! loads of people on the DC5 forum have had evo's/scoobys etc and all ended up going back to the '5 - surely testimony to its greatness!
Have you personally driven a CTR? is the steering a world of difference away?
How hard is it to keep in V-tec?
i'm going to try and buy one thats already had a diff exhaust on it to save me the expense of putting one afterwards!
oh and how good are the xenons?
I test drove a CTR and wasn't very impressed with the car in general to be honest, partially down to the test route, but the car just didn't excite me enough over the 172 Cup to warrant paying the money for one. I test drove a DC5 and was taken round an air field in one. The deposit was in the guys hand before he had come to a stop!!
Once you are in vtec as long as you change gear near the limit you will stay in vtec.
They don't have xenons, they have HIDs. But can't fault them!
