Yes. I've owned a DC2 and DC5. And I drove the FR-S at the first drive parking lot course event. My thoughts on their handling:
Overall Handling:
FR-S > DC2 > DC5
Steering Feel:
DC2 > FR-S = DC5
Chassis Balance (neutral being better):
FR-S >>> DC5 > DC2
Body Roll (less roll being better):
FR-S > DC5 > DC2
Ride Comfort:
DC2 > DC5 = FR-S
Also, here is a dyno overlay for the FR-S vs. RSX Type-S (k20a2). The FR-S makes more torque across the board, except above 7100 RPM. Honda's k20 series has a LOT of aftermarket potential though, I don't think the FR-S will be able to match that (low redline and lack of variable valve lift).
