Not sure if I agree. I own a DC2-R and a DC5. I think the chassis balance of the DC2 to be much more neutral than the DC5. In terms of roll. It depends on how old your shocks are. If you can find a brand new OEM DC2-R suspension and brand new RSX-S insurance it might be a different outcome. I find the DC5 ride comfort to be way better than the DC2. Even the panels on the DC2 are thinner. You can hear everything outside. I'd say the FRS has the worse steering feel out of all of them. You are comparing two hydraulic systems to a new electric system. I do agree the FRS can outhandle the DC2. It takes a good driver to do so though. It's much easier to drive the FWD DC2 at its limits.
