Default Purpose of the CRX - just inquiring..

Im looking into purchasing an 2nd gen CRX HF or an Si for my first car. I live in Arizona and I was wondering what the CRX excels in? Drag, Drift, Road, Mtn., etc? Please enlighten me with all of your wisdom. Thanks!

-Jack

The Crx stock is still a quick car form factory. They have a great following because they are so light and doesnt take as much power to make them fast.

They are defientely not a dirft car because of the front engine fwd but handle like absolute champs in twisties and are better than most in its year from factory even on twisty road and auto-x

Im making mine more for a daily driven drag car

suposidly the first drift event held in america was won by a crx , but im sure it didnt have any real tough competition if its true.

right now i hate my crx (just cause i recently bought it back, in real shitty condition )

but the crx is a great all around car.

VERY light from the factory, I say drag it! Swap it, boost it, tune it. 350hp in a CRX with traction is a 11 second car.

booya! I thought I was going to be original by saying that, lol. My favorite thing is riding in a friends car/truck for a long time, then hopping in the rex to drive home. I swear, it feels like you hop into some tiny go-cart
