[joke]Yes vietboyjl, it is exactly true. Also, did you notice, he does zero to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds. He could have gone faster than 281 mph but the speed limit in Belgium is 260 mph and he didn't want to get a ticket for 30 mph over the speed limit.

The trick is that he has both a supercharger and a turbocharger on his car plus a tiny rocket assist for launch. The supercharger is Comteck and the turbocharger is Vortex. The tiny rockets are from Thiokol. I think they were a JDM option but you can get them at www.hondarocketaccessories.com [/joke]

By the way, it was not a 2003. It was a 2001. The glass rear window on the 2002 and 2003 slows the car down.

Because i saw a tread on this board a while ago from a guy who know him and i remember that is car was stock. Maybe a CAI or a lightwheigt flywheel but this is not something that will add 100hp to an engine. )

if you look at your speedometer when you start the car you can see that it is possible for a two in the first spot. honda must have though some people would want to get over 200 mph to bother putting the extra into the speedo.

The 2 in the first spot was made with the intent that kilometers will go 200+ not miles...cmon man think about it.
