Default CRX vs. M3

Ok hear is the question for all u car crazy CRX fans.
My boss drives a BMW M3 2003 and he is always bashing Honda owners. I drive a 1990 Honda CRX si in near to mint condition ( not many left like mine ). Anyway I have been sticking up for Honda for the past 6 years ever since I had my 1st CRX.

I’m just wondering, I did the math and I think its right. If a 1990 Honda CRX has 212 wheel HP and 166 torque with the same gearing as a M3 I think it should be able to take a M3 given the weight difference. At these #’s the HP/Lb ratio is the same I think. Now has any CRX guys out there with about the same HP ever tried this ??? or do u think its true ?? and what about top speed will the straight 6 in the M3 out pull us long run?? say up to 300km ??

Any pics, videos or any info on this would be great

If you've got 212hp in a crx, you should smoke him. Don't know about top end. Most of the crx's with the b sereis motors have speed limiters, from what i've read.

212 wheel horsepower is a hell'of'va lot. Well into turbo territory on any D- or B- short of serious N/A work.
