Hmm apparently in 2003 people thought autos didn't have rev limiters Eaither......amazing, I guess my old a4 z28 just didnt have enough power to rev to 10000 rpms and when the guy that bought it hit the limiter in a test drive"which I swear still I'd never actually dine myself and scratch my head on it", it was probably because ??!?

thread revival FTW!!!

Watch out for stock looking 4dr accords that wanna run for cash.there's a Guy around Seattle that has one that is 700whp and is a total sleeper till the go pedal is pressed. We have some surprisingly fast rice around here. There are quite a few 9-10second Honda's and dsm that are street driven

This thread was made when i was 17 and first got my 2v Mustang GT. I opened the hood and marveled at the huge physical size of the engine while i added up the advertised HP of CAI's and catbacks in Muscle Mustangs magazine (260hp + 20hp + 35hp (OMG BORLA) = 315hp!!!!) Top of the world my friends.. ugh i wish it was 2003 again.

Bottom line . . . Don't Bring A Knife To A Gunfight !

Whatever power level you have, whether you are stock or have 600 + rwhp, if you can't make it STICK you will likely LOSE !

Remember, the "ricers" have a HUGE weight advantage. So, 400 hp in a Civic is like 600 hp in a full weight f-body !
