That's just your typical Honda CiViC with a B16 engine, doing a basic pulse n' glide!

My B16 swap (and everyone else's) looks and sounds exactly like this...

The first demonstration of speed is 0-80ish. At this point, the challenger is usually several car lengths behind you, with NO chance of catching you until 140-150, sooo...

The second demonstration is basically 60-120 mph, e.g. dangerous showboating!

My point is 0-60 means absolutely nothing!!!

I dunno, maybe it did in 1957 or something, but...

These days, when a dung pile 40+ mpg ECO car can beat 99% of anything you run against it - what relevance does 0-60 times have?!?!?
