The only thing that pisses me off about that video more than the CRX getting totaled is that moron didn't get run over by it.

CRXs are great little cars though, that era of Honda were little tinfoil boxes that handled really well and are a completely different kind of driving experience to modern cars. A car dying through idiocy is just sad :/

If I found a clean unmolested CRX for sale I'm not sure I could resist buying it on the spot.

Looks good, fun as hell to drive, and their hatchback design means it can even carry a decent load. I had a friend in high school that lugged guitars and associated amps in one.

Unfortunately they were also popular with the rice crowd and are prone to some nasty rust so finding one in pristine condition is kind of a unicorn.

I bought a CRX in 1984, the first USA model year. The ultralight 49 state model. 1500lbs on the registration.

I loved that car. It got amazing MPG and it out handled most any car.

Also roomy for a 6' 3" driver.

Wiring effort, and I'm betting the fuel cell was already set up for a returnless carb feed.

As awesome as it sounds, part of me really wonders how much better the car would be with a much lighter engine making 250hp instead.

Probably right.

I had a race car for quite a few years that was carbed because of dumb rules for the class, and I swore after I got rid of it that I would deal with the wiring, cost, effort and weight penalty on any car in the future where FI was an option. Stupid car was a pain to make run perfectly all the time as the weather and altitude changed wildly at different event venues, whereas with FI, things just work.

Oh, yeah, completely agreed with you there. My Quadrajet was honestly a pretty solid setup but I'll still take modern fuel injection any day.

I just realized that not only by date of manufacture, but also by when it was first released, the LS1 in my truck is actually the oldest and simplest car engine I have.

The 42 is a reference to the 42 second record 0-400-0 run that it made. That's a special edition commemorating the event. Which Koenigsegg destroyed a month later by 5 seconds, shown in the video above.

Bugatti was smugging about the chiron doing 0-400kmph-0 in 42 seconds. Christian von Konigsegg did it in 36 seconds with 2/3rds the power. Every time bugatti smugs about something, konigsegg punches then in the dick.

Bugatti posted a video like a week ago showing the Chiron doing 0-400-0 in a shade under 42 seconds.

Koenigsegg bested it by almost 4 seconds.
