Funny thing tho, I could make my car faster than that car in a drag race with like 15 grand.
Which is embarrassing.

how is that embarrassing for me? I'd be laughing my ass off if I just beat a fucking lamborghini in a race in a fucking honda. And anyone who saw that who is a gear head would be doing the same.
Do you even race your lambo? Or is it just a 200,000$ grocery getter with the occasional spirited drive down a B road?

no, it's not a race car, why would i race it? i have no intention of street racing rice kids. i take it on track days and have put 13,000 miles on it since i bought it. i stick to where it's legal and not stupid, on a track day, for fun
and the person who'd be laughing is the non-tard with nothing to prove, who knows a Lamborghini is a little bit more than a silly little race
if i wanted straight line speed i'd buy a superbike stoopid

fast and furious music on that video pretty much explains it all...

Buying a car like that has absolutely nothing to do with speed. Its the looks, noise, handling.iceman785 wrote:

Your Honda will handle like shit, sound like shit, and look like shit.
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
yeah but he can pretend he's in fast and furious 479 part 5.2

if you want fast, get a motorbike.
My friends $15k R6 can beat supercars, but that's not why you buy supercars, now is it.
also, straight line speed "drag racing" only seems to be an american thing. Who cares how fast it goes in a straight line? What purpose does that serve?
have your honda race that lambo around a couple city blocks and see who comes out on top. Hell have a track with a single 90 degree corner and see who comes out on top.

Wow you guys are fucking retards. You clearly know jack shit about that chassis. That chassis handles well in any form you put it in, even with a crazy boosted motor. Why would you buy a car like a Lambo, and not drive it like it's meant to be driven?
A well done CRX could do fucking circles around a lambo on a track, same with the Integra. It's why there are type-R's leading track days and passing up people in their 200,000$ status symbols.
And my car wouldn't handle like shit, sound like shit, or look like shit. In fact, it'd handle quite well, sound amazing and look even better.
I'd rather build a car myself to out perform cars like that Lambo, simply because it gives me the satisfaction of knowing that just because you bought a Lambo doesn't mean you're the top dog. And if anything the Lamborghini shows he's got something to prove, something to show to everyone else, who else buy one?
Doesn't make sense to buy a car like that, and not drive it like it's meant to be driven. Or in some cases not drive it at all, I'd rather have a car I could enjoy every day, and when people like you who think their Lambo is the shit pull up next to me, I whoop their ass in a race.
Oh, and just because it's a Honda doesn't mean it is rice. I can show the difference between a clean, well built Honda and a riced out one if you need clarification.

iceman, I've been in both worlds and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Please go somewhere else with your ricer shit. That kind of talk is so 2001 it's not even funny.

THe CRX Chassis was designed to take a 1.6l 150bhp engine at most. Of course it's not gonna be able to take serveral hundered horsepower you mug.
Of course it will sound like shit if you just tune the engine. Hell, it'll still sound shit if you put a different engine in it. It's not gonna sound like an Audio/Lambo V10 now, is it?
And yes. It will look like shit. It's an 80s car that looks shit by todays standards. Assuming you're gonna kit/skirt it, it's still gonna look terrible compared to a Lambo.
Just shut up now
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

you keep talking shit b t w
Do want.
Camm, you're well off the point, too. A CRX chassis will handle quite a bit, the problem is that you need to put modern technology into it to make it handle well enough that we would judge it as "good" by today's standards. The CRX itself is a great little hot hatch and they are fun little cars. Think of them as Japan's answer to the VW Golf.
The problem is that in order to have a CRX or any other sport compact be able to keep up with an exotic, you have to put well over $10k into it in order to get the performance necessary out of the suspension, the chassis, the motor, etc. At the same time, however, you are going to be sacrificing a great deal in comfort and daily driveability. You can get a B16/B18 motor to perform well enough to outrun a lot of exotics from a rolling start, but you likely will end up having a very temperamental much like the one from a race car. It can be done that you have a high-performing motor that can put up with the abuse of daily driving and stop-and-go traffic, but it's difficult and requires the proper know-how and quality in parts and labor.
What you unfortunately see in the Honda community, though, is the mentality of "I want it now and I want it as cheap as possible". This disappears a great deal when you look at the Nissans and the Toyotas, but mostly because those cars are more expensive. A Honda Civic or CRX can be had for virtually nothing, they're a dime a dozen. As such, every fucktard buys them (not implying that you fall under this category, iceman) and you have a higher number of fucktard drivers. The explosion of the Fast and Furious movies (especially the first two) only reinforced this. After drifting got big in the US, you saw a lot of idiots buying Nissan 240SXs, essentially ruining the scene there. I still have mine back home but stopped going to events before I moved here because every meet and greet was the same asswipes, just now they're driving the same car I am. I'm sure every Honda tuner felt the same back in 2001. Craig Lieberman sold everyone out. But hey, he made a metric fuckton of money off those movies, so whatever.
At the end of the day, when you drive an exotic nowadays, you know that the car will likely not take a shit on you (I stress that NOWADAYS) while driving down the highway and you'll be doing 200mph (and depending on the car, you might not even realize it) in leather, air conditioned/heated cabin with seats so comfortable you can fall asleep in them. Along with this also comes a great deal of heritage, exclusivity, technical prowess and art. In the world of tuner cars, you are often lacking all of the above. There are cases, however, where I've seen rebuilt sport compacts that rival any exotic on all these counts, but then you're in an entirely different class of car and are once again in "exotic" territory. The only difference is that this tuner exotic was likely not built in some guy's garage but rather with a lot of experience, intelligence and money behind it. The same goes for Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, etc.
Another piece of history to remember: every exotic manufacturer started out with a guy in his garage wanting to build the next best thing. Enzo only created Ferrari so he could finance his race cars. Lamborghini used to build tractors (I think they still do). There are other anecdotes but I don't want to get anything wrong and make myself look like an ass, so I won't go into them here. The same thing, though, can happen with someone building tuner cars. Eventually you might end up as a coachbuilder and then you could even have your own car that you designed from the ground up. It can happen and it happens often enough.

"top dog" at what? racing from the lights? who buys a Lamborghini to be "top dog"? you're stuck in some fast and furious mentality, makes you look like some weird Honda fanboy
seriously, a Lambo is more than a straight line race from the lights

CR-Z, dude. TOTALLY different car.RTHKI wrote:
I dont think the new crx looks bad
I have put body kits on crx's and a Lambo it's all about what you can afford I guess. to me the crx is as ugly as sin no matter what kit I put on it but if you like it who the hell cares what anyone else thinks. in the end if the crx guy could afford a lambo he would not be driving a crx even if it was faster, maybe not a lambo but sure as hell not a crx
Lol, I just googled CRX.
They look fucking awful
They look fucking awful
