A CRX with lets say a D16 SOHC VTEC swap or just a D16 head swap would be extremely comparable if not beat a SN95 V6. No I'm not dissing you or anyone that owns a V6 I was just stating something.

If it's a V6 2 door Accord you might be in for a rough time. I think those things run like low-mid 15s or so?

I dont know much about those B, D and whatever series Jap engines... but i know the D is weaker than the B and it cant take much more than 200hp w/o supporting mods. I read it on Wikipedia. But yes... CRX's are very very light so it may well be possible.

Yeah the 2dr V6 accord is pretty quick... so im pretty worried about that one. I guess well see how it goes. If i get a better start i might have a chance.

i hope ur talkin bout the single ports. and uh to deepenough: the udps and cai will add about 7 rwhp ..together lol. so no the audi is still pushin out more power than you. on top of that audis have great throttle response and they are built to run. it also has all wheel drive. i love my sixer but i would have to give it to the audi.

You said 7rwhp... thats more than 10 crank hp. If my car has 193 crank Hp and add 10 hp for the CAI and UDP that puts me at 203 crank hp. Come on man its not that hard of a concept lol. Plus i already have a good 20lbs torque more than him. His car also weighsmore than mine. That means i have more power and torque in a lighter car. But yes his car is an audi and that says alot. It shud be a close race.
