Huh?
Miata, Z3, CRX, DelSol, MR2... Do these sound familiar?
They are very popular cars in the tweakin' and tunin' market. Especially
the CRX's. And don't forget the miatae.

I don't think so. We just raise the bar that's all. How much faster is a
CRX than a Civic?

Don't forget that alot of these Hondas are CRX's, and they are already
