CRX + Nordsleife + lift oversteer = end of carWink

Seriously though, I like the 2nd gen CRX alot, I think its a great little car, it looks damn good (of not riced out) and it drives great. But it suffers the same thing as most small FWD sportcars, a killer lift oversteer. I've seen a number of CRXs diving straight into the guardrails at the nordsleife because the height differences and bumps in the track can cause oversteer in some very unexpected situations, even for experienced drivers who come to the nurburgring for the first time. I have a really crazy movie somewhere from a french CRX driver that looses control this way, he eventually straightens the car out on the gras, all of a sudden the CRX makes a 90 degrees turn straight into the guardrail. Turns out the reason the car was going straight is that the front wheels had no grip, he thought he had his steering straight, he didn't....

But take a CRX out on any other track, or once you really know your CRX through and through, and its a magnificent machine. It's ashame that it has gotten such a bad rap.

I also love the integra and S2000.

Still, give me an RX7 any dayWink
