Default EG vs CRX

when comparing the 2 what one would make the better drag car? i don't know the exact gutted weights of the 2 but im pretty sure the crx is lighter. As far as the coefficient drag i have no idea but i would guess the EG was better. So it we had an EG and a CRX both gutted making the same HP and TQ what would be the faster car in theory?

An 88 CRX HF would be the lightest choice, but I would probably go with a VX/CX hatch for the extra wheelbase, plus it's already obd1 and my motor would slide right in.

Anybody smarter than I have an idea on how much the wheelbase plays a role in traction?

Eg has a little more room in the engine bay,more parts available,already OBD1 etc etc.I personally drive a CRX would never own any other Honda than a EF but that is just purely personal opinion not for any technical reason.CRX is just the best looking Honda.

EG has a slightly longer wheel base which can help with traction.
