Talking Just scared my best friend last night

Just fix my 20B motor two days ago and havent driven it until last night. Damn is it fast, almost scary. So, I was coming home with my friend in his Acura Integra and he thinks it is powerfull unit I took him for a ride. Well he had never been in a rotary car before so he didn't know what to expect. Before we got on the road I put a twenty on the dash and told him he could have it if he got it before I hit 100. He laughs. We got on the rode and he leans forward to get it then I floor it and he is launched it his seat and before you know it he is cursing in five languages. After 120 he begins screaming slow slow!. So I hit 140 in fourth gear and decide not to put it in 5th and slow down. We get home and he practically falls out of the car shaking. Is it fast? I ask. He couldn't get but two words out. No $h1t. I went to school today and found out I am the new talk. As for my friend I think he is on a pace maker.

Ye that I would like to know also becouse Once you hit 110+ the frontend will start feeling very light due to the lift it creates.

I was thinking that he has to have a kit to keep downforce on the front end and wanted to know what spring rates he was running in the front. Last time I tried a high speed run I got up to 125mph before it got scary, but that was with a stock front end and some no-name springs.

Huh....only 14 posts and no responses to our queries....I call BS for now.....

Not that his story isnt plausible,in fact it sounds just about right for a 20B powered FB.But without pics or rebutle from him,its just a story......

Cool story but i am calling BS, because I have ridden in some really fast **** and nothing has ever put me back in the seat so hard i couldn't reach up. So its either BS or your friend is weak as hell
