For those who have yet to take their S to the track, it's another level of fun. A couple 30 minute sessions and you'll drive it from that point on with all kinds of new understanding about what it was meant to do and where it's limits are. You'll also know intuitively what gear to downshift into at what speed so that it lands into the "sweet spot" of VTEC.

I agree with what Ricosuave said - there's nothing like cruising along the freeway at 70 mph, rev matching, and shifting into 3rd. What it must look like to the other cars on the freeway to see an object suddenly accelerate like that!

Ha! Make a game of it. Here in So. Florida, There are tons of those 'shit kickin' construction trucks plus old people driving like turtles. Just "zig zag" thru the traffic in your S and test out your abilities. VTEC up to a big ass truck, then cut over to the next lane. Oh, and watch out for cops!

I was following my friend in his convertable 'Vette. We went through a fairly long tunnel, and I dropped it to third and held it between 7 and 9k RPM through the whole tunnel. When we got where we were going he said that his car was SHAKING from the ground pounding my car was putting out.

I LOVE my CAI, I need an exhaust.
