I have heard that Fiat Pandas are great for Street A & B class systems due to its shape and design.

I have also heard that the Honda CRX is also good for SPL designs. What is it good for Street class of Super Street and why, does anyone have any pics?

Thanks in advance.

Probably more than anything else, the abundance of knowledge about the car and the years of testing with it.

IMO, it is not a good car for SS, only Street.

I have heard that the Panda's in Europe are hitting big numbers and most of them are using Panda's not CRX's.

So in your honest opinion for SPL (not loks and performance of the car), you would choose CRX over a Panda?

Well I decided I wanted one and got hold of one in less than a week, they are out there if you look hard enough. [Big Grin]

Sure they were never sold here but quite a few seem to have been imported from North America.

How you can make a CRX a four seater is mind boggling - I can barely fit in the car myself with the seat all the way back. Who could fit back there?

It was a mini seat that sat on top of the gas tank. No way on earth a six foot two guy could get into it. Maybe Honda did it for insurance purposes?

At least here in Sweden the back seat in the 4-seat CRX isn't counted as a real seat, in our registration papers it says it's a 2 seater.
The extra seats are only "emergency seats" or something like that.
Maybe so you can pick up some petite hot hitchhiking girls, that must be the emergency they thought of [Smile]
