Silly ricer speed is not for kids



I figured it was a good trade considering the Mustang had burnt valve seals, and needed a tranny overhaul.
The 03' Cobra springs made the ride very firm and I needed something with comfort while still putting down as much power or even more. Plus I find the GTP's much more attractive! You see Mustangs everywhere but you don't see GTP's that often
 
anyone notice the crx looked like it was gutted except for dash and front seats. so it was lighter than a normal crx. i forget what tv show it was. im searching now. but they took some chevy corsica or something and started cutting parts off of it just to show what power to weight ratio does. they dropped like 4 seconds off of the 1/4 without power adders. also just think of it this way. how does a cbr 600 rr with "only" 105 whp get to be so fast? it only weights 412lbs full of fuel.
 
even if a gtp barely loses to it, least a GTP can still pull those times and better being fully loaded with heated seats etc, power WITH comfort pwns a CRX rattle box. being that gutted he probbably has to crank that awesome music so he wont hear his gas sloshing around lol.
 


180 sounds doable, but I don't know why someone would put that kind of money into a low-end Honda like that if they don't have all sorts of money to blow on various projects like they're playing Gran Turismo in real life.

Why do people still blow money on Grand prix's? Its just a dead brand now anyways....

Cars from older era's 1980s/early 90s can afford some interesting opportunities, why? because they tend to be filled with less government garbage and electronics. Now why would you want that? Because less work and easy for any combination of swaps you could possibly dream up, best of all you aren't even coming close to breaking the bank.

No, thats 1/4. A 180hp CRX has a power to weight ratio of 180/2100=.0857. A modded GTP lets say makes 240hp. 240/3500= .0686. Its simple physics. That Civic would beat a lot of cars.

Easily. Honda swaps are crazy easy. Hell just swapping a B18C from an Integra Type R will put it around 160 whp with no other mods. Throw some mods at it like cams, header, etc and its easily at 180whp.

THANK YOU. Some one got it.

There is a CRX running around this town with an F22c swap or something and he's doing 220whp N/A and his car weighs in at 1800lbs...its a lethal combination really.
