OK guys it's what the topic says i beat this dude driveing this decked out honda....he took off at around 40mph so my 2.8 didn't have a problem with getting out from him.... but i'm sure glad i was ahead of him when my rev limiter stated cuting the engine out...but his hit at just about the same time so i stayed infront of him... BUT!! on the other hand....we were wizzin around a corner and yes the police department is on this corner and my moms a cop right..well just so hapends she was out side on break! yup sucks for me but no ticket but a hell of a chewing......

Yeah, if you had a 2.8, you would have a problem, lol. My 2.5 is more powerful than a 2.8.

Well, at least you did win. Lots of people getting their vehicles taken away this week. This guy in my auto tech class skipped and a teacher called his parents...no car for two days.

damn dude, i raced a honda civic and a honda accord at the same time.. both brand new.. accord stock but the civic had rims and an exhaust, maybe intake but i kicked their asses real bad.. i wonder if there is a way to get rid of my rev limiter.. im sure there is through the ecu.. cause thats just lame how it cuts off at 95mph.

its 92mph, and you can get rid of it with a chip. www.bamachips.com is the way to go.
