'92 MX-3 RS vs. '88 CRX Si

[Sean Mandell]

qwik and fast are two different things. why don't yall ask ferrari to make a light weight sports car? <P>maybe if you only plan on driving 1/4 mile races but if you want to red line your car you must balance the power to the weight of the car. I Know david could clear this one up.

Ive stuck my head out the window going 100 mph before... does that count?<P>If i had slips to prove the thing about the weight being wrong i would all i can tell you is that it felt more of a diffrence than a 1/10th of a second =]
