Performance

No formal time tests have been made yet, but owner estimates 0-60 in about 2-2.5 seconds, 1/4 mile at 9.25 and 160 mph on about 1000 HP. It handles perfectly straight up to 130 mph - top speed so far. This car does NOT sit in the garage and look pretty. It drives around town and looks "surprisingly normal." That is, until the rear engine is fired up...

Does it run 5s?

So it has the best of both worlds, VTEC and American Muscle...
Funny they mentioned: the pedals are flip downs!!!

Best part is that he can register the car as a hybrid, California has certian rules on registering twin engine rides, like that 2000 VW Beetle with a rocket jamded in its back... Street Legal...

That's complicated, the suspention system must be something to handle that especially on a CRX. Rear wheel drive too?? It's one crazy idea but a nice project :driving:
