I certainly don't believe that it can do the 0-100 in 6.2 sec.... no way.. not at 1250Kg's or so....

Come'on honda get you act together and get on top of the HP pile again... like honda was back in 1990...

Maybe we will have to wait for the new CRX before honda release a decent engine again...

Regs Mark...

PS: Still love my (OLD) CRX's....
Where did 6.2 sec come from? I believe the claimed figure is 6.6 in a body of 1301kg. There is nothing wrong with the power figures, I think the weight is the problem. And Honda is not alone - even the Golf GTI is 1340kg and don't ask about the Astra Turbo as it weighs even more than the Euro. The trouble is people expect everything these days standard in all cars - a quiet cabin, VSA, air-con, airbags everywhere and reinforced doors for impact protection etc. Weight of vehicles has increased dramatically compared to even just 10 years ago.
