R1 & R2 have dual oil coolers. Which is best really depends on what your going to do to the car, do you want a sunroof? auto-crossing? etc.

Would think the base because it is the lightest of the models.

All FDs are pretty much the same, same engine, same trans (5spds), same diff (5spds again), same brakes, etc. The differences are sunroof, Bose, leather, fog lights, rear wiper, cruise.

The difference between an R1, R2 and Base are pretty much nothing when it comes to drag racing. The Base might weigh 30 lbs less. The extra oil cooler is a REALLY good idea if your going to do any track events, not that important for drag racing.
