Default new owner babble: VTEC last night

so i'm at the point where I felt it was safe to give it a little more throttle than i normally do.. so i head for the freeway entrance ramp that i traditionally take to test out new mods and such.. i roll around the curve for the entrance in 1st holding up a long line of traffic behind me.. the car in front of me clears off into the freeway and i give it go!

my reaction: WTF!!?!?! the car doesn't even feel any faster than my B16A hybrid Civic! MAJOR disappointment to say the least... bummed out i shift to second and jump on the freeway collecting my thoughts.. about 5 exits down.. i decide.. you know what? i'm gonna give the S another chance.. so I take the next exit.. (entrance ramp is straight through on the other side of the light).. here goes.. light turns green and i'm the first car... i decide not to launch (we all know why). i took it easy in 1st up to 5k... then let her rip...

my 2nd reaction: ... hahahahah woooooooooo I realized that the first time I had about 50% more throttle to go! stupid foot didn't hit the floor... man this baby is a beast!!! admittedly.. the sound of VTEC on the S isn't nearly as impressive as an ITR, but the speed is just unexplainably blissful

I just love it when I come upon a nice long wide open freeway on ramp and entering the freeway at 75 mph.

Secret AP1,
Wow, you've broken yours in already?! I think I got mine a week before you (took delivery 6/11) and I barely have 550 miles on her! I envy you...haha. Just a few more days for me...

So what mods have you done already? Mine is still freakin bone stock.
