I had a guy on a bike almost fall over because I scared him. I was going under a bridge and wound it out. The car is pretty loud with an AEM CAI, but with the Toda cams, it's even louder and almost raspy. It scared the crap out of me the first time I got on it w/ the intake & cams. Now, it's just

I once let my boyfriend drive the S2000 while I drove his Cougar... even when the car wasn't in VTEC, the engine is LOUD.

Feels like F1... nothing like passing a cop in a tunnel @ 7K for the heart to start pumping.
I even slow down in tunnels on the blue ridge parkway so I can hit at least 2 VTECs... do I have a problem?
