They are not fast until you are in the "Vtec-yo" zone, as this is where the power is made, anything below this and they aren't particularly powerful, (DC2 is around 130HP IIRC).
I would personally say the FRST or it will be a dead heat, the DC5 is around 220HP or something from memory, but they are quite heavy, more so than a DC2, which to this end is faster than a DC5 (someone told me this who owns one) it has also has been said above by someone.
So for a start the FRST has a better/power to weight ratio and has the benefit of being FI, like I say the Honda's don't really get shifting until the Vtec zone IME!
