When you all say slow as shit what do you mean? 150 HP is fairly quick if u have a 5spd, with I/H/E which isnt more than 600 can give you about 25HP thats always on your car (no nitrous). Thats a quick little car. Its not a RSX, S2000, M3, S4, but mine only cost 11k not 40+. I dont think thats too bad.

I was running a 75shot in my 2.3. When I was able to open the 350Z up, I couldn't believe how much faster it was compared to my CL while spraying. It hauls ass. I still realize that the Z isn't that fastest car out there. I would love to get my hands on a Z06 or a Cobra!!
Oh, I don't have my back seat anymore
But heck, I don't miss it!!

new shit...
and I/H/E cost more than 600... well if you get a "AEM style" for 25 plus 160 for header and 300 for exhaust would put you there... I guess.

RSXs are slow...I've given plenty of them beat downs. Felt kinda bad too since he had his new wife in the car and a "just married" sign on the back.
Back to the original topic...A 2.2/2.3 MIGHT be able to keep up with a go-ped.

My car doesn't feel slow at all. The first time I drove it I thought it was fast as hell but that was just cuz I was driving a 93 corolla before my CL. I have the V6 though.

Its funny how most of you talk about prelude engine's like they are some monster engine. They're better than what we have stock, yes...But you need to experience faster cars.

multiple times and my car can only beat him by 1/2 to 1 car length
the prelude engine isnt necessarily all that but when you only have to pay $500 for the engine,ecu and tranny ,, and get to keep the 5spd. im 100% sure it will change my thoughts about the ability of my car

I've raced ALOT of SIs as well as 2.2/2.3CLs...I KNOW how fast each car is. So stop bullshitting how you can beat an SI.
