I'd also like to chime in and say that getting to 120 shouldn't take incredibly long.

red nos stickers are good for at least 20whp. make sure they are red though otherwise they are only good for 10whp. ALso you can flip your honda badges upside down and that is good for aerodynamics. Both may hely out your situation. Lol, yeah, no stickers.
DONT turn your badges over, you will void your warranty.

well i am sadly not an owner of an s yet (but once im out of school, WOO HOO) but my friend just bought one and had me drive it...spiritedly. i hit 7000rpm's in 5th gear really quickly (i didnt want to accelerate through 6th because.. idk i just felt bad haha), i dont know how fast that is, but i has to be around 120? the car had more up top umph than i expected.

the car: 2001 Silverstone w/hardtop with 60k on the clock.
