Correct.
and correct.
double wishbone are nice...
"The DC5 Integra suspension employs MacPherson struts in the front and double-wishbone suspension in the rear. This engineering decision disappointed some Honda enthusiasts who had come to appreciate Honda's philosophy of employing double-wishbones for both front and rear suspensions."

So technically the dc2 has better handling compare to the dc5. So what makes the dc5 better on the track over the dc2? I always see the 5 wins.
I heard the chassis is stiffer. Stiffer chassis > dc2's double wishbone???
and the 5's engine power???

dc5 is a stiffer chassis and like you say the engine has more power AND torque
wouldn't say that the dc2 would have better handling since it uses double wishbones up front too, thats quite a single minded comment to make
take the FD2 for example, same sort of suspension design as the dc5 and can confirm having driven an FD2 plenty that it would outhandle a dc2 by far
tbh I really prefer the feel of an ek9 to a dc2, dc2 steering feel is awful, just not enough feedback through the wheel, both the dc2s ive driven i've found the steering a bit vague
(
if the steering feel on a dc5 is similar to that of the FD2 then they would be fantastic, can't comment if they are not having driven a dc5 though
