New car and a kill! GSR goes down... So me and my friend from work just got new cars
Me 98 T/A A4 exhaust, K&N (used to own a 94 4 door, 4cyl, 4 speed, automatic Accord)
Him 95 GSR manual headers, exhaust, intake dont know what else
So im crusing in the slow lane on I-95 (cop land) about 65/70 mph and he comes up and tailgates me for a lil, then paces me with a thumbs up. So i nod....
Hes about a half car ahead and punches it....so i give chase. Its my first day with the car so i dont floor it immediatly. One thing i did know is that at first i he was about a car ahead and i was gaining slowly. Then i flew by him like he was standing still and I looked down i was going about 115 and had maybe 5 cars on him.
I was like damn!!
And so was he... 
But seriously did i start from a bad spot, because at first it didnt seem like nothing was happening and then all of a sudden i flew by him like he was stopped.

but yeah im still not used to it
The fastest car ive ever owned was the Accord, and the fastest car ive ever driven was either a SLK230 or a 00 Grand Am GT with "Ram-Air"
and yeah i gotta find the sweet spot in it. ill find out. once i get it back 2morow im gonna check to see what exhaust it has...i would check now but its at the dealer since it didnt pass emissions the other day before they gave it to me. Said it was the Camshaft Position Sensor. They said its a cheap part but a lot of labor.

everything on these cars is a lot of labor....SPARK PLUGS are a lot of labor, spark plug wires are a lot of labor....about the only thing that isn't is the damn air filter
