Default V-tecd for the first time tonight...wow!

Finally got through the 600 miles. Hit it for the first time on a road that kinda went up and down like a roller coaster. 2nd through 4th, shifting at 9000rpms. had to let off midway in 4th, felt some serious neg g's at the top of the next hill. This is the sickest car I have ever owned. I couldn't believe the scream coming from the engine. It's F!@#$%^ cold out, can't imagine what it's like with the top down!

I love *first VTEC* stories. Try it without the airbox cover for an even more impressive growl (albeit somewhat less power).

Billman,

Do yourself a favor. Take the top down and go find a tunnel or a freeway underpass and hammer through it at 9k rpm.

You will not be able to get the grin from your face. I am grinning just thinking about it. See?

One more fun thing to do....

Go cruising through your neighborhood in first gear at about 25mph with the cruise control on.

Again... One more fun thing to do...

Rush hour traffic...

Do about 2-3 miles in rush hour traffic between 7000 and 9000rpm.

People stare.
