Unhappy My TL-P is SLOW!!!!

Ok Guys im pretty mad/sad.

it's the second time i post about my slow a$$ car...


according to car-stats.com, civic SI's can beat me. I'm DISAPPOINTED. I CAN GET BEAT BY A CIVIC. wtf????
i dont wanna be stomped by a 16yo kid driving a stock Civic SI

i need more power but i dont feel like spending about 700$ (CAN) for 15hp with headers

i guess i'll have to live with the civics in front of me


@cUr@-TL

oh btw i just red a FOCUS SVT is faster too, and a Mini-Cooper...

Dude, you can take a mini... I read in car and driver that it has a 7.1 0-60. Ours has a 6.6 I was told... I'm not sure. It sure feels like it's a hell of alot faster than 7.4, I've got news for you. Our car gets down. Don't let what those mags say about other cars. Our car is a Lurury Sedan man, but it's fast for one. Most HP in it's class. Well, the new Type S anyways... Anywho, I love this car. And with a few mods to the engine, it can be pretty speedy.

Ok, I meant, "Don't let what those mags say about other cars get you down." And, "Our car is a LUXURY sedan". Thank you. =)

What are you talking about. The SI is a piece of cake. I have a 99 and I have beaten a lot of them when I was stock. Now that my engine is modded, forget about it.

BTW, stop magazine racing.

hey at least we dont get as much tranny problems =P But yeah..depends how well the kid can shift.. If he does a nice clutch burning launch at 3k rpms..shifts smoothly it will be about even. STUPID slushbox autos..

trade it in for a 5spd. jp buy the stone racing headers for $400 shipped on the other site. they are better then obx but comparable to comptechs.

maybe all those ricey light mods are taking the power away. lol borrow sum stickers from badazztl

The answer is stickers and Red bull.
Red bull will give the car wings and the stickers will boost the extra HP to fly.
