01 Civic VS. CRX
01 Civic VS. CRX
On my home from Wal-mart last night i spotted a very riced CRX, altezza style taillamps, a supra style spoiler with another aluminum wing spoiler bolted on top of that, and SI badges. I wasn't paying to much attention and somehow ended up at a light next to him. He yanked down his window and yelled "Ya wanna run'em?", i asked if he had a swap or some boost, and he said "nah, only a cold air", not to mention his unreasonably loud autozone exhaust tip, and license place hanging on wires from the frame. After I sized him up, I said what the hell, lets go. I launched at 4200rpms and feathered it out, i immediately jumped ahead, I nailed second and kept it floored. By this time I heard him grind going into second so I shut it down. I asked him if he blew second, and responded sadly with a yes. So I asked him to go again. Two blocks later we hit another light, I launched at 4200rpm again and got a little wheel hop on the uneven pavement. Through 1st i was about half a car length, halfway through second i was a car length and a half ahead, and at third I shut it down. He gave me a flyby(which I hate) at probably the top of 3rd gear. I thought CRX's were a little faster then that? I guess i'm an ok driver, but damn, thats slow.
EDIT: On second thought, i would want to tangle with a CRX in autox.

The supra style wing would have looked somewhat nice, IF he didn't have an aluminum wing bolted on TOP of the supra style wing. The entire supra/aluminum wing assembly probably stood 6 foot tall, from bottom spoiler to top spoiler, it was ridiculus.
