the GP would be a good match, and would win stock for stock....I have seen turbo civics put down some serious power, they get real fast real quick.......throwing out the flag

Yeah, unless the turbochargers on these Civics are pushing less boost than someone blowing through a drinking straw... they'll be fast. SSEi fast at bare minimum.




I hope you don't think we're trying to bash you. Just a point of clarification.

you really shouldn't be reving your engine when there is no load on it. It'* pretty bad for it.

Let'* get back on topic.

Your car has programming that limits you from reving over 4,000rpm until you are rolling over 15mph. This was added as part fo the programming to many vehicles as the motors became quieter and faster reving.
