I had some guy berate me today for speeding, he waved and shouted, so I pulled up, wound my window down slightly and got a generic "boy racer blah blah, speeding up here where children play", I pointed out that the road was fairly empty, I was doing under the limit, 28 (by my speedo) in a 30 limit and that it just sounds fast, and then after more thats rubbish etc. I told him to erm "go away" and drove off. This is just showing you really do need to revv it to get some decent acceleration out of it (not stupidly fast, just enough to 'nip'), I have even been told by a Canadian of all people (she is at the moment on telly on BBC 4 I think Alex Bovie ) that she'd tell me when to change gear as I obviously didn't know, I did try to explain a Vtec, but to no avail, she may have a doctorate, but she knows nothing bout' Hondas .

Try revving the car a bit, and use the full rev limit, you'll soon see it goes.

ATB,
Tom
