man, choices
if the two were presented in front of me, I would go for the b18c5 CRX

I'd choose that one because, one I like CRXs better then Sols. Then I would also choose it because its got the c5 in there. And more room for potential. Were as the Sol is already turbo, which there is more room, but the C5 will still destroy. haha. If it were me, I would go CRX

I think you should give me both cars and I'll give you my 4-door. J/K, but both seem pretty equal. Keep which car you like driving and working on the most. It seems that the Delly will have a higher resale value simply because its newer, probably has less mileage, and banks will give a higher loan value for the Del Sol than the CRX.

B18c5 CRX, but that's because I like the CRX better than the Del Sol.
