the car is fast. the driver sucks/is a ricer. no need to bash on the car.

I understand the sentiment, but be glad for guys like this on the site. It keeps it from being a complete honda circle-jerk.

Lol, a 10hp and 10lbft difference in power makes that much difference? :l My car is even rated to get better gas mileage than yours. I know you like to post specs about everything to prove you points so here it is:

I really don't care what MPG you get but it is tough to believe when your getting 2mpg higher than what your car is rated at when you even have shorter gears than stock.

Really? 1988 = 16/24 compared to 1996= 17/27. :-\

Yeah but your car is as equally underpowered compared to the newer 4.6L :-\ This arguement is so stupid. If your car gets 500mpg great, but its dumb to argue that the bigger and more powerful the motor you have means you get better gas mileage. :l
