I took the CRX and Accord by surprise because the two of them were racing and I just came out of nowhere and raced them. I know that CRX's are fast, neighbour has a soup'd out one, and truly don't think the guy really gave it to the CRX, mind you there was a bit of snow on the ground too.
About hondas and Acuras in general I DO know what the are capable of doing. I have driven 89 Civic CX, my brothers (very slow, bottom of the line), 90 Acura Intega my dad's 5 speed, fast as hell if you know how to shift it right, very nice gear ratio!!!, 91 Civic Si, my mothers, and my dad's old car 91 Honda Accord Station Wagon 5 speed, YES 5 speed fully loaded, but of course I had to write off his favorite car. I remember my dad had his wagon in the garage for a couple of days and had a loaner Civic Si (auto) don't remember the year 94-98 but I was in the car one day when he merged into traffic and had to close his eyes because the car had NO pick up, when compared to his wagon.
