WTF!?!?! i wanna go faster!! lol. i think maybe i should take it into the dealer and complain about the performance or say its running like shit or something...

oh, and its an 04... some people say those are slower for some reason. i need more info guys, anyone have any suggestion's? im pretty fluent mechanically, what kind of tests could i do?

i had a 95 civic before this and she was quicker!! ...and thats just not right
