Hybrid! In the car world there is usually a lot of hate on hybrids since they are usually slow and boring. The newer super cars like the McLaren P1, Porsche 918, and Ferrari LaFerrari have embraced hybrid technology to make the cars even faster. This has definitely shifted the views of car lovers, but in terms of cars we can all afford hybrids still suck. Luckily the Honda CR-Z a was made at an affordable price tag and doesn’t let performance suffer. First thing I will say is they kept the design of the car looking very nice. Sharp edges and interesting shape give this car a very unique look. Once you add the body kit and new rims, etc the looks go to a whole new level of cool. The performance is also no slouch. Very fast little car that handles great too. I had a ton of fun driving this Honda around any track I tested it at. Since it has such low hp it isn’t as fast as a Honda Civic could be, but in terms of handle and fun factor it is equal.

Best of all parts without racing brakes without nitrous. Racing soft tires or sports soft, not much power so works well with worse tires too.
