Auto-x is alot of fun, and takes a fairly skilled driver to do it well. This is where the CRX, and my Porsche 914 is superior. Don't even come near me in any of your Vettes, Cobras, etc. with those on the auto-x course . TBH, I was fairly impressed that my stock '95 Mustang could hold it's own on a corner. Big difference from early models.

Damn... so much to address in this.

What do you have done to the CRX? I'm sorry, but those cars are not straight line beastie's by any means in stock form. I used to whoop them silly in my Mustang II. Granted the II was way lighter than your car, but it had less power. The CRX is a nice 17sec car without mods.

Ricer's are not fast. You need a V-8, baaaaddd.

The CRX is nowhere near a 914 for cornering performance. Anybody lumping those two into the same comparision doesn't know how to drive either one.

Anybody who cannot slaughter a CRX with a Mustang Cobra stock for stock on a auto-x course needs to give me their car. As far as the 914, it would depend on just how tight the course is. The 914 featured a terribly underpowered Volkswagen engine, a little better if it was a Series IV or modded with a turbo off a 911, but the 914 lacked braking capacity too. Unless you switch over to the 911's stuff. The 914 is super light, and super close to the ground, they corner excellent, but everything else is lacking without mods.

Compared to older Mustang??? Like what, a 1965-1978? Sorry to tell you this, but the V-6 corners like **** compared to the GT's, even the Fox GT's will outcorner a SN95 V-6 hardcore.
