Doesn't have me around anymore :P  I'm out "travelling" for work

FWIW with regards to the gutlessness of Hondas at low RPMs (oh, yeah, and their gutlessness at higher RPMs AFTER vtec kicks in yo!), Ray and I did a test several years ago when we were young(er) and stupid(er).  Another friend was buying a used NX2000 (back when they were still available in reasonable condition) from an Acura dealer.  Ray asked to test drive a type R and the salesman just gave him the keys.  So I hopped in my SE-R.  With all of the bolt-ons so roughly 150WHP we probably did 4-5 pulls (it was rush hour and we were stupidly finding room on a pretty crowded highway) and the two cars were pretty damned even.  What shocked us though was that we were able to do one pull from 45-50ish if I remember and we topped out 3rd gear (do the math, we were stupid).  Somewhere around 5k RPMs I looked expecting to see Ray rip by me.  On the other hand, I slowly started to pull away from him!  No missed shifts or any other excuses.  As always, YMMV and DTTAH

Alright, I'm gonna sound like some of you old fogies now (cough, cough George) and I need to go to bed
