First Turbo Kill...
Got back from Scottsdale last night and was itching to drive and car... so I took it for a spin at around 10:00pm. Got next to a C5 vette going onto the freeway and decided to 'open the cutout'... it was on!
He got on it at around 50mph and I quickly followed... was next to him by around 65mph and then both got on it - took him by 6 cars at 120!!!

For 5.5psi the car is just plain NUTS right now... can't wait for 8psi with more fuel 
I so badly want to take a Lambo or Ferrari (except the Enzo and Carrera GT, of course!)

I wonder what it'll be when you put some drag tires on.

Revving at 9K...
you're mean... 
I've rode in a few 12's Civics before.. The way these cars pulls are just insane. The first time I rode it, and my buddy Vtec'd and Turbo went full boost... I sware my life flashed before my eyes. We were speeding up so fast that everything from the side window seems like a blur..
I can't believe you drive one for a daily driver!

Allmotor, i'd love to bring our vette by to give you a race, i'd like to see what you get us by. We could get it on video too. Maybe a before and after race cause we are about to do a Head and cam package. Current mods are just 3.42's w/ ecu adjustments. Car's an A4 so it's probably a flat 13 to high 12 second car!

Sure... although only 3rd gear upwards... cuz I can't get traction otherwise! Although gears on that car make some big differences!!
Just PM me... we can try something

Did he look a little surprised that a lowly V6 powered honda product would dare beat his precious V8 power car that badly?

It'd be interesting to see, we wouldn't be doing anything to aggressive
