Default Gotta admit defeat

Tonight/this morning I ran a turbo CRX w/ "No nitrous, and missing second gear". It did have a turbo. I lost. I had him out of the hole even w/ a bad launch, then by the top end, he walked away from me. According to spectators, he pulled way to fast to NOT have nitrous. Guess I will need some more go fast parts. See 4.6 for poll.

A turbo would help alot on a little CRX, even without nitrous I could see him beating you pretty bad. With your mods, you might pull a 14.8, that CRX probably runs low 14's to high 13's if tuned right.

Oh well,you lose some and you win some.More than likely,he didnt spray.Cr-x's are fugly,but can be made extreamly fast,since they only weigh about 2000 pounds.

my little brother has a CRX with a JDM swap that has some miles on it with no turbo and he's still almost as fast as my stang, he just has to shift more than me, I go thru 3 gears while he goes thru all 5 of his before I put any real distance between us. he envies my torque while I envy his gas milage.........I guess it just depends on what you want and your driving habits

It's good to admit the defeat. It we didn't get defeated, there wouldn't be any reason to keep adding the mods. Here's to the motivation for adding more power.
