Ok. Up until yesterday I had never actually riddin in a sr20 240 or a swapped honda of any sort. I got to do one pretty much after the other.

The SR240 was just installed and still had a few kinks, but we hit about 150km/hr in about 12 seconds i'de say. (It was dope watching the stock 240 brakes literally smoking when we got back to the house.) Oh that was with a boost leak.

Then I got to ride in a gutted and cleaned up EG6 (originally a CX) that weighs anywhere from 1900-2100 lbs he sais with a B18C5 under the hood with all the extra goodies, putting about 190 to the wheels. (sexy black rota wheels btw.) And let me tell you. That car flyes. Alot more than the SR did. The SR felt close to it once it was boosting, but it was crazy being rolling at 2500-3000 rpm, having the civic get floored, and spinning the tires. Again 150km/h was about the top speed reached here, but it got there faster. And when that car hit the brakes...whew...I thought we were going to spin out. It feels like the back end is just floating. It's kind of scary.

Riding in both those vehicles showed me the major difference between a N/A VS Turbo car and also how much weight makes a difference. It's one of those things you don't really understand until you expierence it.
