Honda's New CR-Z

[nice rice]

the CRZ definitely is a new crx. but it is also a hybrid. i dont know much about hybrid engines, but the CRZ claims it will have something like
HP-125
TQ-128
thats like the same numbers as a D16z6, so i was wondering if the CRZ is a tune-able car like its predecessor the CRX. Will you be able to boost the engine even tho its a hybrid to reach performance that the CRX does when tuned? Honda is claiming it will be sporty and fun to drive but i can't see that happening with the numbers its producing and that its a hybrid...so if someone could enlighten me please do.

thanks. i think the back end is a little off, i feel like Mugen could have done a little better with that back end. but for the most part the thing looks pretty good. and they did have some Mugen components under the hood which is even better!
i just hope the numbers on the tuned versions are much much higher than the stock numbers cuz quite frankly those numbers are not impressive at all..maybe for a hybrid..but i'm looking at it as a possible tuner.

i think the race version has something like 180-190 hp but it looks light.

Prolly the same way they gave the ITR the 'R' with only like 200hp.

Meh... I liked the Mugen version alot better but HOLY GINORMOUS WING BATMAN!!! IMO I never liked wings to begin with. I was given a date rape pill when I had the drag style wing on my Integra.

I'll keep my CRX thanks.

that spoon version is straight up sexyy! if its pushing 200hp id be satisfied because it is a hybrid, and thats almost a 80hp gain from stock. spoon article claims 150lb.-ft torque which is almost as much as an H22a but it is a few hundred pounds lighter than a prelude as well.
