I had a CRX for a while, what a tin-can POS, rattleing and falling apart at 50k miles.

Default if it's all about speed in the 1/4 mile, yer car is a waste of money, you know that

audi's are not drag cars. the weight alone makes them not. his crx is WAY lighter than yours, but his CRX is a piece of **** car. Low budget honda man. You own a classy audi. Tell him to **** himself and his tin can.

Default For a couple grand they can drop in a B series engine + turbo

Yes they will toast you. Even a straight engine swap(B16a, B18C5) will do 12s to 13s. Speed is not everything. I'm sure the chicks would rather sit in your car

Default Depends on the year.

They were light cars, so a lot of power isn't necessary to go fast.

However, that guy is a waste of your time, you can seat 4 adults, travel all day at 120+ mph, and arrive at your destination rested...the CRX can't do that. I know, I owned a 1986 CRX Si.

Don't waste your time with fools.
