Rep Power: 314 You live in Brooklyn? and you wanna drive fast and launch? Arent the pot holes gonna kill the car? Well, search is #1, and then... you'll find brake torqueing this is way. If you wanted to go faster shuold have gotten something else. Unless youre planning to put major bucks in your car, Civics will lose to minivans and the like. OHHHH yeah.......

Rep Power: 0 I have a A/t coupe and i went to the track the other day. brake torquin is slower than just waiting for the light and putting your foot to the floor.
