which one? I would go with the Del Sol.even though it's heavier than the CRX there alway's an egine swap B18C5. An instant gain of 30HP

CRX 1991
hp:108
weight:2178

Del Sol 1995
hp:160
weight:2520

I'd take the Del Sol. Better looks, plenty of potential, and you get a targa top. I don't think the CRX is very good looking.

I'd go CRX. Yeah, it's small and light, and you sacrifice some aspects of your car-driving experience for the sake of performance (or better gas mileage - whatever your fancy), but I've seen some quite handsome CRX's in my day.

If you are a serious Honda racer, much of the work in removing extra weight from your car is already done in the CRX. Without having to substitute chassis parts with more lightweight materials, you already have a very light unibody to work with.

Yeah i would also go with the sol. More power, and comparing stock for stock...the sol with vtec would beat the crx. IMO it also looks better.;)

Like JD said it would also be very easy to make a crx faster than a sol with the money you save.

I'd say depends on what you're wanting it for. A crx has a lot of potential as a drag queen, but is that really what you want? The del sol would probably be a better car for the streets because of it's cruise value (the targa top get's the chix... we have a topless sol club in colo) and because the handling would be better. But I've seen a 600hp na crx w/ 16:1 compression. total badass car. So I guess it's all up to your tastes, and what you're doin w/ the car
