I agree, any car can be fast. I don't know why people say that our cars suck.

I love my car, it gets up a goes.

- I don't understand, even with nitrous doesn't the speed limiter kick in? If you were going 110 mph, couldn't he only been goin a max of 115? Or did he chip his ecu to get around that?

The meaning of SLOW is not top speed, it about ACCELERATION !! how fast u get to that speed, our cars dont accelerate fast enough, but any car car do 110 !!

speed is how fast the car can go...quickness is acceleration....

a Fast car would be a 3 speed civic that topped at 40MPH..by your definition...

My EX tops at about 115.. I got it about 125 going down a hill then.. this was coming back I-90 from chicago about 3am one night when there was NO ONE on the road... we do have speed limiters or maybe the rev limiter kicks in lower in 5th gear because I was only at about 5000 rpm's so I hadn't even hit peak power in 5th gear.
