Question

Why does everyone say the Honda DX is good for racing?

Answer 1

Its the stripped out version so its the lightest.  You will need to do some pretty major engine upgrades to make it fast though.

Answer 2

It is lighter than the other Civic's.

DX means no power windows or locks or power seats. No alarm or any heavy electrical motors.

It is also the cheapest to buy and modify.

Answer 3

They don't mean its good for racing because its fast or anything stock. It's because the car is bare bones. It only comes in manual.  Also it comes without a CD player, without power anything, and without air conditioning or alarm. This is great for someone looking to build the car for racing, because race cars never need AC, power everything and definiately don't need an automatic transmission. Those things would just be taken out if the car came with it and it was being used for racing. So its good for racing cause it comes bare bones, perfect for doing up for racing.

Answer 4

easy to modify and cheap but to make fast needs to have an engine swap and turbo, among other mods
