Sick of Being smoked

I keep getting smoked by my girlfriend who has a stock Celica Gt. I get in the lead by a car length untill she hits that overdrive switch in her car, and she takes off in front of me.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem for our cars, or how to remove the rev limit?

uh....if you are tired of being smoked, removing the rev limiter won't help you. Search around and find out what people are doing to gain power. With the D17 usually turbo or nitrous are the only ways to do it. You bought a civic, it is slow, it gets good gas milage, and it isn't that expensive.
