Yes GVWR stands for gross vehicle weight rating, and to figure out your approximate weight take the gvwr minus 800lbs (4 people 200 pounds each) and thats your cars weight or close to it

i blame the driver for this one...................u should b able to spank him unless he really lightened his car and the people u had in ur car were obese. he couldve been a better driver than u and spank u but dont feel bad; ur not that far away from not worrying about anything honda besides a nsx. i personally wont even race a honda product unless i see a REAL intercooler in the front.............but thats just me. lol.

there may be lots of ****ty hondas out there, but don't underestimate their power potentials, i have 3 friends with with EGs and 2 of them are 11secs and 1 is 12sec... which would whoop most SR..... and thats all motor

I have to say, from experience, the SR (well at least the way I have it set up) isnt very fast at 1/4 mile time, but on the highway from 80 -150+.. Im really hard to beat, and thats comming from a C-5 Corvette owner friend of mine who I just raced tonight. Since I cut the speed limiter in the computer; from 80+ he couldnt catch me till I redlined somewhere around 150.
