Winner? Taurus and CRX! My buddy has a 1988 CRX DX 5-speed and he came down to MS to visit me. Well he got lost about 50 miles north of my little town so I went to meet him with my Taurus. I met up with him, and we started back and as soon as we got on the 4-lane, this kid in a lowered 1998 Civic EX comes flying past us and then slows down, weaves around a little and then points directly ahead (signifiying he wanted to race). I hammered down on the Taurus and my buddy did with the CRX and we both wasted the EX. The Taurus by a long shot and the CRX by at least 1/2 a car length. The EX could NOT pass us back. We wern't blocking him, he had a whole lane to himself but just didnt have the power.
As far as the CRX v.s. the Taurus, he has me from about 0-40 mph (obivoiusly because the AXOD shifts like crap compared to a manual trans) but from then on, the 3.0 Taurus is long gone. The CRX has about 140K miles and the Taurus just rolled over 231K.
