just naaaawwws it, it's roughly the same gains (just when you hit it), but if you mess anything up or if the car breaks without your help and you still need the warranty, you could take the nos kit off (if you installed it with this in mind) without the dealer noticeing. Just an idea, I didn't know if you wanted this for just dragging or like scca style road course driving as well as using all the time, in which case turbo is better but so much more $.

You've obviously never had it over 5000 rpm. Drop the clutch at that rpm and you can beat anything short of a Corvette off the line, and you can leave almost anything in the dust on the slalom. Not impressed, eh? Mabe you'd like power seats ?

9000 RPMs through back roads. i guess that would be taking the car to its limits. beating a Corvette? thats hilarious. i beat S2000's in my Accord. and i'm not gettin anywhere close to a Vette. and actually i dont have an S2000 cause i would like a car i can afford the insurance on. a 21 year old with an S2000. i would love to see that insurance bill. and driving through snow with the S2000. that would be even more amusing

Again, if you can afford the S2000, you can afford insurance and a winter beater. If the owner even lives in a snowy area.
He said can beat anything short of a Corvette. Damn man, you need to learn some reading comprehension :slap:
Good for you and your torque steering turbo Accord beating S2000's to 80 MPH (and street racing isn't "taking the car to its limits"? Give me a freaking break man). Let's see who gets their ass whooped on a track like Watkins Glen or anything with a few curves and elevation changes.
And lastly, who's got the resale value? That's right...not you, anymore. Better drive that puppy into the ground.

who the hell said i was only in first? doing 90 on backroads is pushing it to its limits i would say
so it can beat anything short of a corvette? yeah a Mustang GT would most likely beat an S2000 if the GT had a good driver. an SS Camaro would beat an S2000. those are short of the corvette
and beating S2000's to 80? where did you pull 80 out of? thats not even the end of 3rd
and my resale went down? so i have all my stock parts. like someones gonna know that it had a turbo. maybe people that know to look at the oil pan. but when you change oil pans then how would anyone know? theres a few things that will let someone know but 99% of the people buying an Accord wouldnt know what to look for
take your drum braked LX and go home

So you're going to lie to people when you sell your car and not tell them it has/had a turbo and the potential for devastating engine failures? Very classy. I would never buy a turbo Accord. Hell, I'd never buy an Accord with any engine mods.
I just said 80MPH. :gives: what MPH you race to, my statement still stands. Take on an S2K at a track.
Your first statement was absolutely asinine. Maybe you should've left it in first for a little longer then. Stop trying to save face, you got owned. Plain and simple.
If you were smart, you would've said SVT Cobra instead of Mustang GT :slap:

Hey Chris, he's a kid. He just admitted that he's 21 years old (a kid in my book), so who in their right mind would let a 21 year old drive their S2K at 90 mph to begin with? Well, he has proven that there is much for his young mind to learn.
