10:1 odds that you will be racing one though. No?:D

I think they weigh around 2300lbs. Not totally sure.

Yes I will be racing one, An ex freind. Now he is a punkassricer. He is quite fast, 11.89 @ 121. But I want to figure his HP.

is it a gutted hull, or a decently mannered street car?

I happen to Own a crx.

2200 lbs is what they weigh if it is a DX or HF

2350 lbs if its an Si.

I have seen race prepped CRX's come in at 1700 lbs.

it seems like it would be tricky to get a crx in the 11's, especially at our altitude, there dark, what do you think?

No doubt. I seen a crx with a VTEC engine and nitrous with a race weight of under 2000 lbs run a 14.1.

Thats sad,

84gt347 11-19-2003 06:43 PM

They must make a v8 retrofit kit for a crx that we dont know about. that would explain the 11 sec performance

BIG TURBOS, the true of it all. This guy built a stroker, after market head, big cam, and 20lbs of boost.

84gt347 11-20-2003 12:42 PM

why 0 why do i ever wish for a supercharger when turbos can do all that?

Its really simple, B18C non Vtec block, ported heads and intake, fat cam, and a lot of boost makes em run 10's on the street. I saw a vid a few weeks ago where a hatchback beat a 10.8 second Viper on the freeway.:eek: Problem is that the whole car becomes illegal. No CARB nubers on any of the parts and forget about smog...no smog means no vehicle license renewal. Smog Nazis suck.
