Drag race I saw yesterday

Post by initialeclipseshift »

Honda CR-X and a Nissan Altima....of course as you know I live in ricer ville...so you know the CR-X had an engine swap.....but I guess you can figure out who won....the Altima had the lead from the start...plus it didnt help that the CR-X driver couldn't shift. This race was so not entertaining...just thought I would share.

A properly built CRX with either a B16A or B18C(1/5) should take a stock altima with no problems...

Good question. I don't see how it could be. It takes actual skill to do something like that, and it's for performance, not cosmetics, which rules out ricing by definition.

maxima's aren't too bad looking. My friend has one, and he loves it. its like a 1990, and the best part is, its a stick! hes pretty cool though. I might have to get him to teach me, but thats if I get a stick. o/T, yeah, but had to support the Nissan portion of here. cna't let subie take over this place.

The sound alone is enough to tell the difference between the two. Did it sound like a 350Z?
