What are they? I can't find them for the life of me...

A friend of mine swears on his life that a Maxima has a better drag coefficient than a 88-91 CRX...I'm just out to prove him wrong...

just some numbers i found so far:
Honda CRX HF - 0.29

Honda CRX DX/SI - 0.30

94 Mazda RX-7 - 0.29

91 300ZX Non Turbo 2+2 - 0.32

Nissan R390? (the roadster) - 0.30

I hate clear taillamps, altezzas, taillamp swaps (ie. Mr2 lights on a crx, skyline taillamps on prelude, etc)...

I like the simple, clean look. My muffler has no tip, it's just bent exhaust piping...tips are ugly.

I like it. I sat in a 10second CRX a couple of weeks ago that belong to Joey from Excessive Autosports. Do you ever see him at CRX meets?
