I remember reading a long time ago that a Honda CRX required 7 HP to go 55 MPH. That was the original 84 CRX 1.3 which one of the car rags drove at 55 MPH and got 72 MPG when the car first came out in the summer of 83. My Crx 1.5 was built in July 93 and it was serial number 1018. Bought it brand new when I was working at the Benz dealership just north of Houston.
The bottom will be flat except for the front and rear wheel openings.

CAR and DRIVER gave me their original test results from Tochigi,Japan on the CRX.I'll remember to snag those at the house.
