Cool CRX b16 vs. S2000

Ok, so the funniest thing i just happened to me at my job. I had a guy with a b16 CRX offer to race me for money. My S is totally stock (for now). I asked him what was done to his car and he said its just all motor. WTF....! Are you kidding me who the hell would actually come to your job and offer that to someone. What do you guys think....Would he (dont know why i gotta ask but) have a chance?

I would say that he knows he has a very good chance or he wouldn't want to do it.

depending on road conditions he might take you off the line, my SI with a zc swap pulls hard, i can only imagine a b16, 160 hp in a 1800 lb or less car, you will take him from a 3rd gear roll or top end

have you ever driven a SOHC VTEC CRX Si? it really doesn't feel any heavier than driving a 5hp go-cart....

i've seen civic hatches with b16s and intakes pull 13.9s.

A CRX will be even faster, probably 13.5.

Some guys around here have b18 and one guy built a b20 from a crv block and put it in the car!.. Better hope he's only got a b16. Very light car and fun to drive... it's the s2000's grandpa according to some...
