I seem to run out of VTEC at the end of each day, and have to add oil at the beggining of each morning

No, really. I never understood the fascination of driving fast. It's mind-boggling to think that people actually take their cars to racetracks. It's nothing more than abuse, if you ask me.

Yeah, Alex is definitely crazy - I can't believe he would never drive his car fast! That whole concept is foreign to me He has got to be the biggest wuss of a S2000 driver!

But Alex will certainly not hesitate to hit the VTEC when it comes to PPD



Oh....and Alex, you're such a but I'm ing

Well to be "crazy" there must be a "normal" on which this craziness is based, so the question must be asked: What exactly is normal? Is normality nothing more than a set of codes, morals, and ethics with which society has molded us, to behave a certain way, think a certain way, dress a certain way? There is no such thing as normal, and by default crazy is an impossibility. This so-called "normal" lies in a finite space, but exists in the infinite.

Fuel conservation...that's your best arguement...come on Alex. I know you can come up with a better reason for being such a p*ssy driver.

Now if they only made a VTec and a Diet Coke patch, I could be normal again

I don't think people were using the term "crazy" in the universal sense. In the context of this thread, "normal" can be roughly defined as the s2k members that lie within 1 standard deviation from the mean on a steep bell curve that represents driving behaviors. In other words, I would bet that an overwhelming majority of s2k drivers routinely rev above 6K rpm on a regular basis. These are the "normal" people. Anyone who does not (once again, in the context of this subject) is abnormal, or "crazy".

I'm sure this person's just yanking everyone's chain, though.

I have only driven one TC car, a moded 944 that put ~325 to the wheels. When that car hit full boost, the 7k or 7.5k cant remember where the redline was, came in a BIG hurry. It is the only car I drove and actually felt scared when at WOT. Just thought I would share, it was vtec cross over x20 compared to stock S....Granted I ya cant compare stock to moded but this 944 left an impression I will never forget.
