[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 3370471, member: 27518"] I think the EK9 is better as a whole. Given the R&D and the reason it was created, The EK9 offers a near racing package sold of a factory assembly line. The 99' DC2 has one plus going for it, 1.8L and 4.785 FD, while the EK9 gets the handling as it's main positive point. Stock for stock, the DC2 has better torque than an equivalent B16B EK9, and somehow I can't see an EK9 being faster in a straight line, at least not with the B16B engine with 4.4 FD rev limited to 8.9K(or was it 9.2K? I forget) RPM. Unless the EK9 swapped FDs, and bumped it's peak RPM, it'll have a hard time chasing DC2s down the straights. Anyway, differrent category in most MSS anyway, super saloon vs. super sixteen. But what happens if we take the EK9 + DC2's B18C engine + transmission? You can swap an engine into a chassis, but not a chassis into an engine, hence my preference for the EK9 :P [/QUOTE]
