5 speed over an automatic makes you some racing god
18.34 @ 75 mph
My 2004 VP 5-speed, stock
16.7 @ 86 mph
What the hell is the point in racing an automatic? "I can mash the gas harder than you!!" Unless your stiving for a 8 second quarter mile pass and having to shift a manual would actually slow you down. Thats the only reason a automatic shoud be in a performance car.
Automatics are slow and boring, i'd much rather a 5 speed civic than a automatic sports car.
That is not an ordinary rabbit tis the most foul cruel beast

ohh ya SRT-4 interior is great. The seats are great the boost guage, the pedals all laid out perfectly!!!! If it had a honda badge on it bet you would be saying its gods gift right now.
Srt-4 is a no expence purpose built racer!

My dads CTS would whoop on a lot of cars I would race, regardless of manual/auto. I wish it was an auto though, cause I think it could have had a lot more potential. It shifted really bad, but still threw you in the back of your seat. He sold that for an Escalade last week, sucks.

(pretend there is some kinda presidential music playing in the background while reading this post) it doesnt matter if we drive a civic. it doesnt matter if we drive a srt-4. and it doesnt matter if we drive our mom's mini van...no matter wut someone somewhere is going to hate on other people's cars. i myself am guilty as you might have seen on some recent forums...well guys its a time for change its a time for all the hate to end. why? why cant we all just get along. haha. hasta!!
oh, one funny example: a person I know refer his VW new beetle as the high class car and it probably beat all jap cars...as jap cars are consider low class, like the civic.
hahah, I think I just need to kill him

for instance my friend was saying something like "a g35 coupe beat a rsx type s and it was automatic!!" anyone get what i mean?
