tnanks for the compliments everybody  .
Since some of you have asked about the power of my car, it puts out (on paper at least), 238Hp, and 159 ft/lbs. torque. It picks up slow, but once you get them RPMs above 4500, it really picks up . Tonight i took it all the way to 90Mphs in 3rd gear before i HAD to shift. I sitll don't know where the governor is set at in my car. My guess is 140Mph or so..... |

@ PJ: It is a very quiet car for all the power it has. It does not sound like a rice rocket at all.
@ morx: I'm paying on the car an amount that will pretty much set back my computer upgrades for quite a while  . |

Yea, I've always wanted to hear the sound of an RX8's rotary engine...but I never get a chance...they keep going past me way too fast for me to even get an ear on them. 
Maybe one day I'll see you in your car and you'll be kind enough to let me listen? |

I removed the one in my dad's toyota when I use to drive it.
those suckers go WAY faster than you'd think.
Seriously though, why make a car that fantastically fast and then put a friggin limiter on it?!
