GSR vs. CRX

I plan on racing this guy in a crx pretty soon and i was just wondering what you guys thought would happen. The GSR(2000) has i/e and the CRX(1995-1998) has a b18c vtec swap with exhaust.

the crx would win

As much as I hate to see a low brow CRX beat a classy car like your GSR the light weight is gonna eat you alive. And its gonna hurt. Unless you are a way better driver of course.

DoubleTap

how is the gsr more classy than any other honda? :dunno:

i think he is saying that a 4 year old ACURA is more classy than a 15 year old bottom of the line honda

Yeh thats the answer i was expecting.....not hoping however. This guys pretty much a punk and has a beautiful grey primer paint job on it 2. Oh well we'll see.

nothing wrong with primer. i love flat color paints as much as any gloss, i personally would love to have a flat army green car. lol

It too early to tell. Even tough the odds are against you, you can still win. My friend drove my car (a stock GSR), and beat my other friends civic hatch which had a b20 with a type R head on it.

It's the amount of skill you have, not the amount of horsepower.

yeah, but that hatch still weighed prolly a good couple hundred pounds more than the CRX, but also had more power by the sound of it, I dont really see the GSR winning unles the kid in the CRX does something wrong, like spins way too muhc off the line, bogs off the line or misses a couple shifts.

I still think he has a good chance at winning...if he can drive.

well, the gsr has maybe 1-2 HP more at the wheels than the CRX and the CRX weighs probably 800 pounds less

ok, just noticed this, and maybe im dumb, but what is a 95-98 CRX???

As far as i know the CRX was stopped in production in the US as for like 91. The CRX tho is aka Del Sol in different countries.

isnt it 1994-1997 when the del sol was out?

The Del Sol is a CRX. It's a second generation CRX. Only in the US was it sold under the Civic label ('93 - '94). They removed the Civic label from it '95+. In Japan and elsewhere it's a CRX Del Sol. Production was from '92 - '98 for the Del Sol's worldwide, and from '93 - '97 here in the US.

I had heard that it was the CRX elsewhere but I wasnt sure since the years were off, but I guess I was still wrong with my numbers.

well since they have the same engine with pretty much same mods... I would have to go with the oh so light crx.

Yeh sorry if theres no 95-98 crx me and my buddy were just estimating. I really dont know much about crx's.

be it a del sol crx or civic crx your still looking at a lighter car with just as much power and tq. I think good driving and him messing up are your 2 shots you got at it otherwise hes got a win.

strip the shit outta ur gsr!(serious w/r- search honda-tech-- theres a big list)
and practice practice practice!!!

is this in the US?? and is it actually the CRX or is it the del sol?

yeh its in the US and its a crx. BTW what are the stock specs of a crx?

The CRX will have the advantage with weight. Those things are almost as light as the Civic hatches of the same body. Here's some CRX specs: http://kumo.swcp.com/synth/crx/specs.html
I found it on Google - try searching sometime. ;)

Oh, and Del Sol's weigh almost as much as Integra's. Just an FYI.

CRX would take it. Though upgrade that GSR and like he said practice. Hopefully he mis shifts.

So who won the race?

Thanks for the input. The Race was pretty much like you all sed, he only beat me by about a half a car tho so it wasnt 2 bad. Just makes me want 2 upgrade my car more.

you know he spanked you.lol.j/k
the other driver prolly sucked balls.the crx is lighter than civic hatches.
88 hf=1875 pounds.
91 si=2250 pounds.

"It's a second generation CRX"

Third.

meow

yeh its in the US and its a crx. BTW what are the stock specs of a crx?

Specs have changed with the different generations. Check CRX Resource for more info about CRX's than you'll ever need.

know i think the del sol is 3rd gen because the 88 to 91 crx is the 2nd gen. ....thats just my take ...... thanks

Thanks for the input. The Race was pretty much like you all sed, he only beat me by about a half a car tho so it wasnt 2 bad. Just makes me want 2 upgrade my car more.re of what car you were racing though, if it was the newer CRX (del sol) with the B18C swap then sounds about right, but if he actually has one of the sub 2k pound CRX's that are like 800 pounds lighter than your car with your engine in there then he sucks at driving or your good. do you know more about what year it is?

my friend has a 91 CRX Si with intake and headers, and its pretty quick for a non-vtec engine. reason being it only weighs about 2150 hah. ive always told him it looks like a body on a go cart lol

ive always told him it looks like a body on a go cart lol

It handles like one, too.
