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.

Yeah it might depend which DC2 you have. I haven't driven an ITR, but I suspect its suspension was setup with firmer springs/shocks and less body roll than the GS-R I had. If I recall, the ITR also lacked sound insulation.
Also agree with your comment on LSD making a bigger difference on FWD Hondas.
Man I miss Honda's "glory days".
