So woundup and I stopped by Billy McHales to get a drink on the way back from Dyno Day and on the way home, low and behold there was a Honda CR-X at the stop light, right next to me.
I'm at the light, look over at him, he looks back. Woundup is behind me, starts revving the engine, the shift light glowing, his face cast in a red glow. The CR-X is revving it up, looking back at woundup. Woundup calls me on the cell "Smoke him". So, I do and so does woundup. He can't get past me, I can't see him. Wound up is right behind me. Sadly I had to hit the brakes at about 50 mph due to car in front of me and the lane to my right ending. THe CR-x does a typical flyby and almost hits a Miata turning in front of him.
A couple blocks later. The Cr-x has a buddy, in Cr-x, seriously. Starts riding woundup's a**, jerks in to the next lane, wound up punches, three car lengths later shift into third. Cr-x then proceeds to fly by us both. Much to our disappointment, they turned off at the next light.
I'm sure there is a lovely post on the Honda forum about a CRX killing a bimmer and a rx-7, but you all know the truth..

Actually they were crx's the first one was boosted I believe it has a pillar pod, with boost and afr, Seriously I dont think your nova would smoke anything. Spend a day at test and tune there are plenty of fast civics and crx's lots running mid 12's with small turbos and honda data.

got to double clutch! That is the trick! LOL! I think I know which CRX you are talking about. One of the Honda fanatics in the auto program was trying to get me set up to race his buddies turbo'd CRX with my FB.
Seriously, Does he live in federal way. It was a pretty quick crx. Set him up with me for a race its a fb kinda of. You didn't make the dyno, was hoping to see you there. Have you put on the new exhaust pieces yet.
