@Shadowboost I was surprised he still didn't get sub 2 I've been passed by that crx at a track day that thing looks silly going over the hill like a road runner cartoon
Thanks again for the track time guys. I don't think I did too bad considering prior to this I only had 2 laps ever on a road course. In preparation for this event we did a private track day at Chuck in this car. My first timed lap ever on a road course was faster than what I ran here, and lap 2 was a 1:59.004. I didn't get a 3rd lap that day. I have plenty of autocross experience but this road course deal was an eye opening experience. I was hoping to have the whole day to get acclimated to the car, tires, and the course but the engine had other ideas. The engine is out of the car right now due to massive blow-by in #4 & #6. Might explain why it was kicking oil out of every orifice. Nicky is an absolute beast of a driver. The dude still handily beat me with issues of his own. Honestly, wouldn't mind seeing him take #ProjectReddawn for some laps to see what he can do in it because it's definitely a mid/bottom 1:50's car on NT01's.
Love this video. Too many internet car guys are gonna be upset at these results because they think HOrSEpoWEr IS EveRYtHINg lol and driver mod doesn't exist.
Already made this weekend start off great. You guys did a great job at the event and with the video. In spite of the inherent challenges with the vehicles being angry and change of plans it was edited beautifully. Thanks again for having us out with #projectreddawn.
Other Hondas to, he has really good suspension and well he was on formula something also he went to Vtec club people said he had a team around him it’s not just him
Another reminder that power to weight will always triumph. Nobody understands that back in the day 160hp (B16a2) or 170hp (JDM B16a) in a 2500lb or 2600lb chassis is pretty damn quick and fun. And the 1990 CRX weighs anywhere from 1800 to 2100lbs. Add a carbon hood and 260whp engine, you got yourself a fukking airplane.
If you wanna see were the people are who remember about to weight ratios. Look at all motor builds. Because you have to consider it. Because you simply lack horsepower numbers so how do you go fast? Drop the weight😅
These gentlemen were respectful and sportsman like. I Love cars, bikes and just about anything with a motor. I even drive 10speeds for a living and built a car myself. Everyone has there cup of tea. And to me every machine has a job thats more suited for it. Hats off to you both as a professional driver. Bravo 👏
I knew the CRX would win! Been following NIcky and that CRX. Even part throttle the Camaro couldn't hang. I'd like to see a rematch but good luck getting that Camaro back out there. If both cars had zero issues dude in the Camaro isn't gonna break mid 1:40's. NIcky needs to run that CRX in a time attack and freak everyone out!
These are some of my favorite cars ever. I owned a twin cam swapped 91 civic hatchback way back in 2000. And I think the split bumper camaro is one of the absolute best looking american muscle cars. Period. But because of my prior ownership, and still being a fan of all civics from 88-00. I am excited to see what this is all about.
What, awww, Lol! Both of those vehicles are awesome. I really thought the Camaro would win, but I also thought the CRX could win. I have driven rear drive American moat of my life. I have a heavy foot at the track. But that's typical. I want a front drive car to help change my habits. I am used to American HP and torque. Amateurs like myself typically rely on that HP in the straight to make up for our driving weaknesses. You can't afford that habit in a lower powered front drive car if you're going to be fast.
@@Thumper68 Its not. Hot rod magazine decades ago did a whole article going over what a muscle car and pony car is. A chevelle is a muscle car, the Camaro is a pony car.
@@Shadowboost hahahahah another 140whp. that would be insane!! K series is pretty wild. Some people seem to say they dont fit in a crx very well. not sure
LOL i went so slow! Can't believe that lap time won. This car did a 1:47 on the same track when it ran correctly. OH WELL
Would be rad to run it back and switch cars. Would be cool to see how fast you could go in Reddawn. Preferably in cooler weather though.
lol, 13 seconds? That's crazy

Dude Nicky Hays CRX before all the Aero for comparison did a 1:48.8 at buttonwillow. Him and this car is fucking FAST
did a 1;47.7 at buttonwillow before aero
@@Nickyhaysracewas gonna correct to 1.47 your an absolute animal 🤌🏽

Imagine if the Camaro driver had experience like the CRX driver there would be no comparison the American bald eagles will be soaring😂😂😂😂😂

Nicky! Imagine he wasn't going half throttle on the CRX.
Maybe show all the car times of show at the end of the video please 🙏 like a top gear leaderboard
good idea
I am in complete disbelief that a 90s model economy car is this fast at a race track
Crx is the one of the best track monsters one can buy no?

@@JDMEXforme it’s not like a 71 Camaro weighed a lot they were 3300lbs with a v8 once you strip one down can be under 3k lbs and have 500hp+ easily
Was waiting for this to drop & this video did not disappoint🤌🤌 good work fellas!
For fucks sake the quad view that switches randomly, no...
If you can't make it faster, Make it lighter.
Both. Do both

Bring them both back and run again..love seeing the Pro Touring American cars also..👍🏽🏁

Are you guys ever coming back to willow springs for drivers battle?
When a $10,000 Honda whoops a $200,000 Camaro, you know you should have stayed home.
That thing is not a 10k Honda lol making 260+ NA
Nicky hays is a lap record holder and that card has much more than 10K in it
those cars are 10k stock these days, and that one definitely has way more than that in mods
90's honda coupes and hatches are worth alot more money than expected now a days
@jaredramirez1263 So, put a number on the honda that makes you happy. It's still not a $200K+ car, which you already know was my point.
Nicky Hays so handsome
We want Miata kswap
Once i seen that KING crx, I already knew who was going to win.LOL.
1:14 at Streets of Willow CW aint no joke
Nicky is still the goat!

Crx ftw 🙌
Came here to see my boy in action! Go Nicky Hays!!
Camaro needs a driver mod big time!😂
DSE-Z would be a cool invite.
Yes Detroit speed vs Nicky hays would be epic!
seriously, it comes down to the driver and getting to know the track.
Nicky is an absolute track monster.

Nicky did 1.52 in buttonwillow with a non aero car. he is a beast
Camaro never was and still isnt a muscle car. Its a pony car like mustang and dart.
@@torvaldsen2110 yes it is a muscle car.

Nick your car is beast!! I am a Honda fan!! I have a B18 but I want a B20 with B26 head.
b26?
Run it back!!!😁😁😁👍
Omg i love this crx and the b20v. Nicky is very very good pilote 💪
Crx was my first car love honda
