American Muscle vs. Japanese Classic: Chevy Camaro Takes on a Honda CRX | Driver Battles

[@nickyhays2149]

LOL i went so slow! Can't believe that lap time won. This car did a 1:47 on the same track when it ran correctly. OH WELL

[@jasonwilcox7322]

Would be rad to run it back and switch cars. Would be cool to see how fast you could go in Reddawn. Preferably in cooler weather though.

[@Shadowboost]

lol, 13 seconds? That's crazy

[@HalfAssBuilt]

​@Shadowboost I was surprised he still didn't get sub 2 I've been passed by that crx at a track day that thing looks silly going over the hill like a road runner cartoon

[@jasonwilcox7322]

Thanks again for the track time guys. I don't think I did too bad considering prior to this I only had 2 laps ever on a road course. In preparation for this event we did a private track day at Chuck in this car. My first timed lap ever on a road course was faster than what I ran here, and lap 2 was a 1:59.004. I didn't get a 3rd lap that day. I have plenty of autocross experience but this road course deal was an eye opening experience. I was hoping to have the whole day to get acclimated to the car, tires, and the course but the engine had other ideas. The engine is out of the car right now due to massive blow-by in #4 & #6. Might explain why it was kicking oil out of every orifice. Nicky is an absolute beast of a driver. The dude still handily beat me with issues of his own. Honestly, wouldn't mind seeing him take #ProjectReddawn for some laps to see what he can do in it because it's definitely a mid/bottom 1:50's car on NT01's.

Dude Nicky Hays CRX before all the Aero for comparison did a 1:48.8 at buttonwillow. Him and this car is fucking FAST

[@nickyhays2149]

did a 1;47.7 at buttonwillow before aero

Nicky! Imagine he wasn't going half throttle on the CRX.

Maybe show all the car times of show at the end of the video please 🙏 like a top gear leaderboard

[@chuysaucedo7119]

good idea

[@justinlicciardi4505]

Crx is the one of the best track monsters one can buy no?

[@frivera735]

Other Hondas to, he has really good suspension and well he was on formula something also he went to Vtec club people said he had a team around him it’s not just him

[@NativeTexMexican]

If you can't make it faster, Make it lighter.

[@Shadowboost]

Both. Do both

[@Good_Ol_Dayz]

EF drone shot @3:42 is chefs kiss!!!

[@JDMEXforme]

Another reminder that power to weight will always triumph. Nobody understands that back in the day 160hp (B16a2) or 170hp (JDM B16a) in a 2500lb or 2600lb chassis is pretty damn quick and fun. And the 1990 CRX weighs anywhere from 1800 to 2100lbs. Add a carbon hood and 260whp engine, you got yourself a fukking airplane.

[@az_3kgt714]

If you wanna see were the people are who remember about to weight ratios. Look at all motor builds. Because you have to consider it. Because you simply lack horsepower numbers so how do you go fast? Drop the weight😅

[@tcimuscle]

Already made this weekend start off great. You guys did a great job at the event and with the video. In spite of the inherent challenges with the vehicles being angry and change of plans it was edited beautifully. Thanks again for having us out with #projectreddawn.

[@boomboomtisk]

Was waiting for this to drop & this video did not disappoint🤌🤌 good work fellas!

[@user-ye7fu1sj1b]

These gentlemen were respectful and sportsman like. I Love cars, bikes and just about anything with a motor. I even drive 10speeds for a living and built a car myself. Everyone has there cup of tea. And to me every machine has a job thats more suited for it. Hats off to you both as a professional driver. Bravo 👏

seriously, it comes down to the driver and getting to know the track.

[@DynamicEricLife]

Nicky is an absolute track monster.

[@AhmedIbrahim-lb7qg]

We want Miata kswap

[@GoneAsGoneCanBe]

These are some of my favorite cars ever. I owned a twin cam swapped 91 civic hatchback way back in 2000. And I think the split bumper camaro is one of the absolute best looking american muscle cars. Period. But because of my prior ownership, and still being a fan of all civics from 88-00. I am excited to see what this is all about.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

DSE-Z would be a cool invite.

[@nocoasthero1204]

What do you mean you never hear a civic chopping? Locked V-tec makes them lope. Boostedboiz mr2 chops.

Came here to see my boy in action! Go Nicky Hays!!

Nicky did 1.52 in buttonwillow with a non aero car. he is a beast

Nicky is still the goat!

Damn that Ls7 got spanked by a lil 4 banger?!! Wow!🤦🏻

[@meenouvang3817]

Crx was my first car love honda

[@spoolin2bars]

I knew the CRX would win! Been following NIcky and that CRX. Even part throttle the Camaro couldn't hang. I'd like to see a rematch but good luck getting that Camaro back out there. If both cars had zero issues dude in the Camaro isn't gonna break mid 1:40's. NIcky needs to run that CRX in a time attack and freak everyone out!

[@fkhothatchi]

Curious how fast the nto1 compared to super 200

[@zyberworld]

Run it back!!!😁😁😁👍

[@johnnykakar]

You should put my buddy and I on, he has a an old E30 and I have a 94 Accord. Oh yeah he's LS powered and I'm K swapped

[@miguelparrilla9065]

Nick your car is beast!! I am a Honda fan!! I have a B18 but I want a B20 with B26 head.

[@hahkay]

b26?

[@bdd1469]

When a $10,000 Honda whoops a $200,000 Camaro, you know you should have stayed home.

[@jaredramirez1263]

That thing is not a 10k Honda lol making 260+ NA

[@barniechong1183]

Nicky hays is a lap record holder and that card has much more than 10K in it

[@timothylolcats8020]

those cars are 10k stock these days, and that one definitely has way more than that in mods

[@koreyp360]

90's honda coupes and hatches are worth alot more money than expected now a days

[@bdd1469]

@jaredramirez1263 So, put a number on the honda that makes you happy. It's still not a $200K+ car, which you already know was my point.
