 Rican03.'s recommendation | |
I lived in Germany and have the USDM (United States Domestic Market for those far from import knowledge like M3) 91 CRX Si which came stock with 108hp. I altered the intake, custom exhaust, headers and ignition and while on the Autobahn (German Highways M3!) I very easily kept up with Bimmers to include 3 and 5 series. Yes the BMW M3 will outperform a CRX, but not without having to work for it (not to mention the owner so he can pay it off!) I have now a B16A1 (JDM Si-R engine) same as the review was written for and I noticed an outstanding change in performance. The fact that Honda's are light does not mean they can't run, my CRX before the engine swap in Germany easily made german cars pull to the right lane as I was flying by them at around 130MPH and I do believe the car had more to go although I was very close to the rev limit. I know for a fact that a 90 Ford Thunderbird will whip a Taurus SHO (but then again it is an 8 cylinder engine) which my friend kept up with no hassle to a 92 Mustang GT and my little CRX could keep up with the Thunderbird. It will beat my car stock, but all he got was about half a car lenght on an 1/8m strech. So don't hold your breath while you say you beat Honda's cause you might end up holding it for a long time as you stare at the tail lights of one
