I keep trying to push the car and see what it's limits are. Hate to say it but I don't think I have even come close.

Took route 21 from newark to interstate 80. I was taking corners at somewhere in the area of 120mph. Nice little signs saying 40mph around many of them.

Haven't even put the splitter or rear spoiler on yet ohmy.gif

Think I best get to the track soon.

How do I know?? cuz I did what you're doing and scared the shit outta mah self... twice! pinch.gif Won't happen a 3rd time tho. I set the car on a curb the 2nd time. $2500 damage to the suspension.

Save yerself & the car. GO AUTO CROSSING & have the most fun you can have in 2nd gear!!! beerchug.gif

Get thee to a track. Loosing it on the highway won't just cost you your car. It might kill some innocent passer by. And (if you lived) that would cost you everyhting that you owned. Its not worth it man.

He's old enough to make his own mistakes.

So does the car windshield have the eyes printed on there, or are they removable. Because I like the eyes. Or is is photoshopped? :>_>:

Can we get a full size verion of that pic for the front page of the site?

Save for the track. I test cars on a clover leaf near the shop, but I dont need 100mph to test them.

well I try to think ratoinaly. I certainly don't drive like that around other cars. Also wouldn't do it with others in the car.

This is the largest picture I have. Also my civic biggrin.gif

See I told you to get on it! I've had it up slightly higher then that (don't tell Dave!) when "babysitting" the car. Dave and I had a lot of fun building and tweaking her, she can take it, but save it for the track. Don't bother playing in a parking lot and doing the auto-x thing, take her to a track and run her. She likes that!!

Nate seriously, be safe, it can get away from you quickly.

Thanks

I try to be somewhat sensible. Not completely. If I was completely sensible I wouldn't even have bought this car biggrin.gif

I know when things are getting to dangerous.
