I don't doubt the cornering advantage of 400lbs less weight but I'd be willing to bet your pretty close to the same engine output as me (without the weight). Care to post a dyno graph and put the speculation to rest?

What speculation? YOUR speculation? Speculation of what? That we have similar HP/Weight? Shouldn't that be the case? The Integra is a GREAT handling car. I know, I raced an Integra for a full year, and it was possibly the smoothest, most stable FWD race car I've ever driven. The CRX scares the $hit out of me every time I leave pit lane! It's my favorite car, and definitely rewards you if you care to let it hang out a bit, but it is by no means a HP car! (kind of funny actually to be called out on this, have you ever seen us at Atlanta?)

Talk to Ruck, Muresan, Evan, Jan Rief, Serra... Integras are just as strong in handling as the CRX, depending on the course/turn. Its give and take, the CRX has ZERO advantage in high speed sweepers, but does wonderful in tight turns, entering straights. We set our cars up to be very loose in T1-type corners, which benefits in Keyhole and Carousel (it's a game of trade-offs and prep).
Anyways, not sure why I feel like I need to defend anything, I had an amazing weekend hanging with all you Northeast guys! AJ, damn, Saturday night was hilarious! Kevin, thank your dad for all the drinks (I think I know his strategy... AJ and I didn't look to good Sunday morning!!). Greg, round 2 at Atlanta will be a blast, hope you get the tranny back together and give me something to chase again at a track that suits your ride a little better!
I'm starting to think that "Cat Killer" is going to give a good run at the ARRC this year, his car isn't too different from the Egg in power, and he is working hard at handling, could be fun (dark horse...cough, cough)
Kevin, get your car back together, welded up tight, and lets get that Great Lakes thing going at the ARRC again. Jan, that goes for you too, take Kevin's advice and stop breaking axles!
I'll post the videos soon (once I get this damn computer to work a little better)!
