The best 5th Generation Accord Base

Just seeing what everyone thinks is the best accord base for the fifth gen Accord. I think I'd actually go the DX with no power anything, no sunroof, no A/C, manual. It's the lightest of the pack. My reasoning...it's the lightest because it doesn't have any power features and it doesn't have a sunroof with all kinds of extra roof supports that add weight. No A/C, ABS, and power features that also add weight and lock up horsepower. Than again the EX is probably the better engine to modify and it has 10hp more stock. The V6 is nice but it's just plain too heavy. I don't know I'm just bored and wanted to see what everyone has been doing and which one they thought was the best?

I've got an EX 4cyl, but yeah it's heavy. I like it, and the F22B supposedly has a lot of potential for upgrades, which I intend to try. Plus it has vtec. Ever disconnect the vtec solinoid? I tried once and ran the car to see if there was a difference. HUGE difference! It wouldn't even rev past 5 grand, and took like a minute to get there. So I like vtec.
Not sure about the other trims...never drove them. The Accord V6s are pretty slow until you reach the 2003 model. I'd rather have the 4cyl.
