There is nothing wrong with thinking your modified Kia is fast. It’s when you think it’s the fastest car around that you start to sound like an idiot. ---

Its amazing how far Honda performance has come in even the last 5 yrs or so. I remember when there were 1 or 2 rolling around with 2XXwhp and that was fuckin nuts!! Now 5XXwhp+ ones are all over. A couple of buddies and I were just talking about this the other night. ---

Yeah…but thats exactly where honda shit started. They sucked, everyone had a bolt on gsr swapped civic, and it ran 14’s. Was quick for the day, aftermarket saw the demand to want to go faster, and produced alot of quality shit for em…and a shit ton of junk too…but thats besides the point.
