this makes no sense: the SI and the SI hatchback have diff times, but they're the same car??

or what about this:

1988 Honda CRX Si 8.2 16.4
1991 Honda CRX Si 8.7 16.5

88-91 crx SI had the same motor and trim level, no?

1988 Honda CRX Si MT 2017
1991 Honda CRX Si MT 2174
and
1992 Honda Civic Si HB MT 2326
1992 Honda Civic EX CPE MT 2390

they call the ex coupe si in canada i think someone correct me if im wrong but if one says hatchback and the other doesnt hmmm. im guessing it means its not a hatchback and probibly has a different weight. and like .1 sec is going to end the world also read the site there getting there information from a few places
"These sources all include vehicle testing done by "the experts" at Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Road & Track, various written auto publications and from the auto manufacturers themselves"

im not claiming that people will be able to run those quarter mile times. but it gives you a rough estamate to go by.

the weight chart is wrong by about 200-300 pounds on almost every car

wieght is with nothing in the car no gas, stock engine, so i think there pretty accurate.

It's really not that uncommon for a 4cyl car to beat a v8.

The 90-91 CRX Si is heavier than that. There's 200 lb difference between B-pillar seatbelts and door seatbelt cars, hell, there's 20 lb difference between 88 and 89 EDs. 91 CRX Si should be low to mid 2200's before you add options.
