you guys are idiots...the only way you can get more power out of our cars is if you weight reduce it....meaning, take everything out that is unnecessary...take off all body pieces (bumper, hood, doors, fenders, etc) do the DIY gas tank cover weight reduction under grey's DIYs! (remember, every ounce counts!) so other things you can do:

-take out interior
-chop off the roof
-rotors/brakes are heavy, chuck them, u don't need em...
-take off your exhaust and intake manifold to get maximum air input and output...
-empty all fluids including engine oil, windshield washing fluid, radiator fluid etc...
-take out powersteering and other engine gadgets u don't need...but KEEP VTEC!
-since the stiffer the suspension, the better, take out suspension and weld metal bars in their place...
-take a dump
-take out battery, use AAA
-take out windshields
-masterbait (everything counts)

if driving automatic, cut off left arm and left leg

finally:
place air freshener in centre of dash to help weight distribution

Do what i do and you'll be beating vipers and vettes daily. Each morning i sit in my car for an hour and meditate. Then i give the intake and exhaust a full grease massage followed by a mud wrap. Then kneel down in front of your car with the hood up and pray to the honda gods to give you good fortune and finally you have to sacrafice a virgin.....bottle of oil and pour it over your own head first then on the head of your engine.

hope this helps and please dont flame me untill you've tried this for 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days.
wow its been 3 months and 3 weeks and 4 days, today I took a vette on the line. you should definatly tell your tire / speed consultant :P

our cars dont have that much horsepower but they are very reliable unless u modify them alot i have 30k miles of really hard driving on the hot weather of south florida and the engine is just as good as new... yes you can get an srt4 or almost any car with lots of hp. but when it comes to driving them hard you will not see many civics broken down for stupid stuff like srt4's or trans ams or musttangs or even BMW's civics are cheap reliable and fun to drive
