your looking at like low 15's to high 15s depending pn how good you drive. how good of a driver are you? that is the real ticket if you can't drive then it could be worse.

well one time, i was riding a zc down the track and i burnt my ass sitting on the valve cover, but that zc hauled ass.
ive seen a zc crx run a 16 flat, on street tires. he had at least an intake and exhaust

As, stated it depends on how good you are at driving. It also depends on what model civic its in, what tranny you are using, and what condition that your ZC is in.
I have yet to run my car at the track but I have raced friends who have run their cars at the track. A friends 94 B16'ed CX runs 14.2 and anothers 94 SI w/ B16 runs 14.8. I beat the SI but the CX gets me by a fender. I would guess my car is about 14.5's maybe higher.
My car is an 89 std hatch, stripped of stuff I dont need like AC, PS, etc. with a ZC motor, zc trans, and mugen chipped PM7 ecu. I have AEM CAI, DC Header, and Thermal R&D catback. I had my motor checked for compression and leak down tested so I would know what kind of condition it was in. Everything came out nice.
Alot of people who get a ZC and dont run anything better than 16s with it usually cant drive or have a beat motor, or are using a DX trans. it all depends. I would have to agree with Trinity and say that you can expect mid to low 15s in a CRX with a ZC. But again you should consider power to weight ratio.
