Icon6 Better full race chassis DA or DC?

I have a 99 GS-R (DC-2) and a 93 GS-R (DB2)...and I am unsure as to which is better to use as a full race car...I know the 99 wieghs more but it also has better suspension, it will be used as a drag car. Which one you guys think is a better idea?

DB2's are getting so rare nowadays that I think they (like ITRs) are better left stock or restore-able to stock. For that reason alone you might consider going full race with the DC2.

X2 if the DB2 is in decent shape, keep it tastefully modded and restored.

Also, with making the DC a race car, you have more parts options and it's an easier car to work on. It seems that almost everything with a DA/DB1/DB2 chassis is just a little more difficult, with a little less space (but it's still my favorite).

when your into drag racing it all matters about weight, and traction so get a eg or crx lol, but no really go with the dc there's more tech support and also has the best wheel base displacement for traction

Go with the Dc2, simply put, everything IS more difficult in a DA chassis as compared to the DC. That little bit of extra space makes a big difference.

Thanks a lot guys, I'm actually looking into a EG shell, if I'm throwing that much money into it, might as well get the best chassis for it.
