top end SUX!!!

i was on my way back from school down the off ramp with my friend steve in his camaro. In front of him was a white chevy pick up and in front of that was a SVT contour. WEll we all BURST out onto an open highway. The SVT pulls ahead cause he got the whole shot, the chevy quickly falls...i pass the camaro right away....and i pull the SVT in and he shuts down...Steve is about 4 cars behind me...then i hit the dreaded 100 mph mark...and bamm...there goes steve flying by me. We would slow down to about 80 and i would real him in with him getting the initial start...then once i hit the SHIT HOLE, he would pass me again....i just got beat by a 98 5-speed V6 camaro

think i'm gonna cry

When we were going to the SoCal CL meet we hit some good speeds and had to shift into 4th... Hopefully Acura will fix this in the next gen.

Hey CLpower...you didn't get a new tranny right? I remember you saying that you had problems so you took it off? Are headers even an option for you or are you holding out for something better?
