Default Best handling honda?

I have been thinking about building a honda that's main focus is handling, which car would work best for this? Integra(non-Type R), Civic coupe, Civic hatch, or a crx?

any car can handle with the right $$$$$$

need to be more specific as to why you want it too handle better or best.....s2k in my opinion needs little from the factory...same with itr....same with civic....i just like to drive...

Old Civic Si's (like early 90's) do really well for autocross, but their lack of power kills them at the road course.

Pic a honda and put John Thomas in as the driver.......

Do you want road race or autocross? Budget? Desired Mods?

Personally, I would go ITR but since thats ruled out consider a 1989'ish civic or a 2nd gen RS integra.

if your going to build why not get the lightest one you can find. stock id say the nsx, itr and s2k are the best but those are a diff category than what your talking about i think

any car can handle well with the right amount of development.

out-of-the-box the answer is probably the NSX, but thats probably not what you want to hear.

And the integra, civic coupe and civic hatch are all built on the same platform so you wont see any major variances between them.

This is silly.
