Default How closely related are the EM2 and the RSX?

I've heard that the chassis for the EM2 and RSX the same, is that true? Could I race my EM2 just as fast as the RSX (excluding engine power) in a road race or auto-x or is the RSX just innatly a better car? Suspension geometry, chassis build, ect...

The geometry is the same, but the weight bias of the EM2 is more even, and the total weight is lower.
The chassis underpinnings between the 2 cars is practically identical, which is why so much is directly swappable.
