setting some thing straight

I had a 95 integra LS (SLLLOOOOWWW)
then
I got a 2000 civic SI (not the new stupid one). I had about 10k in modds on it.....with the only hp building parts being a AEM Cold air intake, DC sports headers, and a Greddy EVO exhaust.

Ran it a couple times and had something like a 15.8 with it at the track....stock quarter mile time of the IS 300 is 15.6 (auto) and i assuming the stick is like a 15.4ish?

SOOOOOOooooo enough civic hating in the earlier posts.....a stock IS is deff not fast by any means. I raced my friends off the line and it was decently close....it got like 3/4 a car length on me around a 1/4 mile mark.....

My GS4 now is fast....but boring to drive sometime...i wish they had it in 5 speed.......so sad.

I too am considering trading up my GS4 for a 5 Speed IS to have some fun with.

We'll see tho.....

check out this link: hot IS3

its what is convincing me to make the trade...any advise appreciated

ya, gs can be boring to drive and this is my 2nd time posting the same dayhem thing again.
it's all the matter of adaptation rite? unless we r ryding in exotics or having like 25 iced out tvs with satellite channels. perception just down rite sux, and it's all just within our minds! alternatives: be a monk, "geta power drill and bore the images outta the head" eek*

ya, that is in the link u provided, gots a lot of toys.
