    Nice. 201 horsepower in a civic will be a treat.

    thanks...it's got soul...it's not a killer like my modded 98 z28 was..that was kinda monstrous when it was boogie-time...this one is quick and well-balanced...AND quiet!

    thanks devani! does yours 'hold revs'? what i mean is if i rev up to 4-5k and clutch like i'm shifting, the revs stay up there...kinda wierd...maybe it's to keep it in the vtec range?

    Congrats on your new car and good luck! My wife purchased a 2012 CRV last year (4 cyl) and it's been a good car.

    Good luck on your new ride!

    Yup, rev-hang....Honda put that in so that when you release the gas pedal, the gas inside the engine burns to reduce emission....Alot of people put Flashpro just to get rid of rev-hang....
