Default Need SOme Opinions, Type R(dc2), Or Rsx-S, Or Civic Si

yes Ive searched and read the arguments civic si, vs rsx, but havnt seen them compared to a dc2.

Im in the market for another car, (just sold my ej8) The New car is gunna be a dd , I plan on hitting a few auto x and track sessions yearly. Based on this which car is overall bettter?(setting looks aside) I want something that is gunna be fun to drive on the track rather then a pain in the ***. I know the RSx+Si will be new , so warranty will be an issue, but i plan on modding(nothing major though)(boltons,+cams) so that kind throws it out the window. And I dont mind buying a used car, Id be nice to have something new but if the dc2 is that much better then i can sacrifice that.

Dc2
RSX Type S
Civic Si(06)

What do u guys think?

If your not in love with the DC2 ITR get an Si. Its new almost the same performance, less theft, vanadlism, sleepless nights, expensive out of warranty repairs, insurance, etc.

Neither RSX-S nor Si is as raw as the Type-R (rawness is good for me ), so if you'd rather have the civility, the Si is the better deal if you can a) live without leather and auto climate control and b) find one without mark-up.

You can get a SI without mark-up easy now depending on where you.

Why did u sell your ej8? Judgeing from your sig it was pretty quick. I would go with an ITR.

Depends on what color you're willing to drive. I would consider an ITR if I could ever find a white one but I think that yellow is ugly as heck and those seem to be the only ones FS. Sounds like you're primary focus is a track car that can double over as a DD and the ITR was designed for just this purpose.

i'd be a little uneasy each day if my DD was an ITR. i'd have to spend lots on money for security for that car. a DD ITR isnt a good IMHO.

^^^ add that to the many comparison threads of the fg2 and dc5. i'd be here all night discussing the differences.
