DC2 is widely-known as THE best handling FF car, right? DC5 is an evolution of that. Far better chassis rigidity and engine design BUT at a cost of front suspension design. Honda went from F1-derived double-wishbones found on DC2 (and other '90s Hondas, which is why it made them great cars in the first place) to MacPherson struts, but even then FD2 which shares the SAME suspension design geometry with DC5 was able to lap Suzuka Circuit faster than NA1, BNR34, FD3S, and even a certain Ferrari.
FD2 has improved front suspension actually (even FN2 too), I think the EP3 and DC5 use the "minivan" steering rack with flawed geometry (a Honda cost cutting measure when designing that generation) which is a bit of a problem.
Thanks for the upload! As expected, Tsuchiya drove great. That EK9 executed a nice pass on that hairpin. And who is that girl? Never seen her before, she doesn't look half bad. ;)
Thx for the feedback ;-) Still have the stock suspension and I can enjoy it on trackdays. It gives good feedback and neutral steering. (check my channel, if you like)
