New generation honda with a piece of crap suspension system can never beat old generation ef, eg ,ek civics, and they are amazingly well in tight turns, even an FR cars will have a hard time battling them on track or touge.
No, the FD2R's Suspension is pretty well set up. Only trouble is because these days, Hondas are more interested in making Saloons rather than Hot Hatches like they used to, modern-gen Hondas have became more heavier with a longer wheelbase and probably wider body.
Kay Zaki Wong Actually it's because those olders cars are usually tuned a bit more with more weight reduction. EK9's and EG6's get stripped out... while with newer Honda's I guess they are less likely to be stripped out. I guess people are more reluctant in stripping out a newer car.
Today's Honda will not be able to afford to build a racing car of the past. Automakers around the world are in the same situation in this regard. Even at that time, it was wonderful to make such a wonderful car.
