'89 Formula vs. Del Sol

Just wondering who do you think would win at the drag strip?

The Formula has the LO3 with a 5 speed, headers, a cutout, holley intake, ported TB, 14x3 open air, MSD blaster coil, aluminum driveshaft, and 3.08 gears

I don't know much about the Del Sol but it does have a built B14 and a 5 speed.

Thank you

If it is stock you will murder it. If it has any stock engine swap it will probably be close to what you run. If it is a modded swap than you will lose. Del slows aren't much threat. Plus they look just so stupid.

If its a B18C series or a B16 of any type, you are screwed.

i don't know there was a guy running around town here that had a 89 CRX with a b16 del sol swap from japan that was lightly modded and he was only able to run like i think high 15's to low 16's, and he was a fairly good driver, so if you can run any better than that, then theoretically you might be able to take him.

I meant to say B16 and I just found out that it runs low 15's.
