PowerPages: 1990 Honda CRX Si

Owner: John Chan
Dynamometer Model: Mustang Dynamometer

Dyno 1: Baseline

Pros
If you're into the old school, the Honda CRX Si would be a choice whip for street racing on a budget. Since its pedigree is practically identical to the EF Civic lineup, you'll find a myriad of aftermarket parts available to power up and customize your little rocket. Small and lightweight, the CRX was the chassis of choice among many of the import drag racing pioneers.

Cons
This particular model ran from 1988 until 1991. The model is becoming harder to find as many have been snatched up for racing or are simply aging and finding themselves in junkyards. Also, it's a really small car, so don't expect to fit much more than yourself and a passenger.

Notes
This particular car has been quite the workhorse, and it's seen its fair share of battles. The fact it has remained stock for all 192,000 miles is incredible. Equally amazing is it baselined at 97.2 hp and 100.7 lb-ft of torque. The motor is quite strong considering its age. Let's see how this old dog likes new tricks.
