The 8 valve D15B6 in the HF only had like 70hp... the CRX LX/DX (mostly known as just a plain CRX) had 92 hp (D15B2), and the CRX Si had 108 hp (D16A6). The HF in 88 weighed about 1820 lbs, which put it at 25.98 lbs per HP STOCK. the LX/DX (which were the same, but badged differently depending on whether it was in the US or canada) weighed about 1920lbs, and had a power to weight ratio of 20.89lbs per hp. The lightest CRX ever was the 85-86 or 87 (I cant rember exactly), which weighed about 1710 lbs.. The heaviest was the 91 Si, which weighed about 2230lbs or so.
My point is that yes your car may be lighter, but in stock form it was not that fast. In 88, the cars were lighter than in later years, but it really doesnt matter since in STOCK FORM (which the whole arguement has been about) the HF and DX were underpowered. IF you have a B16A swap, (according to the specs of the JDM CrX SiR dohc VTEC) the weight would be 2260, minus the 200lb difference between the Si trim and the HF trim, and you would weigh in at about 2060 lbs. that puts the power to weight at 12.75 lbs per Hp, which would be very quick, much faster than a stock GSR. But the arguement here is stock to stock, and last time I checked, the CRX SiR was never offered here.
