I just can't get over how freaking huge the front and rear overhangs are... its like its got a built in cattle-guard.

Its an awesome sounding car, but its not as fast as you'd expect. Bolt on aftermarket products to ramp up the power a lot more than what you're used to.

As to which one will be easier to get into the twelves... I'd say the CRX has the upper hand because you can fit pretty much any honda motor into it and it weighs half as much. Hell, if you put a bone-stock k24 in, you'd be most of the way there.

BTW, I once toasted trans-am in my 87 supra, although the guy obviously didn't know how to drive h:
