^^^^^^ The big difference is, indeed in a Geo or a Honda, it's "YouslowSOB....."; every other car on the road wants to run you over. In my 33-year-old rattle-can-black IDI Batmobile, most other vehicles would get stuck _under_. People may pass me, but they don't push me. And those few who do, I don't care.

I don’t care for Honda’s at all, but the guys making over 800 hp with less than 2 liters completely na with no power adder are badass. If our engines made that kind of power per ci then we would have over 3000 hp na. Let that sink in.

The airflow they get with those Honda’s is insane.

i timed my 0-60 today in my 91 honda accord. 27seconds is quite pathetic.

Something's really wrong with your Accord if it's really that slow. My Mercedes 220D (60 flywheel hp from its 2.2 liter diesel), a full-size sedan weighing well over 3000 lbs, would do it in just over 30 seconds! The faster 240D 4-speed was rated for 27 seconds and it had a whole 65 hp.

I highly doubt anything is wrong with it, just not great acceleration(my wifes 97 5.4 triton accelerates faster normal driving than my honda at wot...not that we have raced or anything) , great top speed, but it takes some time to get that little rubber band wound up.
