Lets rethink, CRX VS. VETTE, Here is a very important piece of what I based my opinion on.

...probably a 450rwhp car off the bottle. Anyways, this guy is really itching for a run, telling me how awesome the CRX sounded and he wanted to see what it could do. So having checked the area i agreed to run him. I had it out on the ET Streets right now, regular ole 26x10.5x15 tire.

So I am guessing we have some forced induction here...
But as I said, who knows, maybe just a real big pill...
