First, what the hell are you doing going 120 on public streets?

Second, maybe. Either swap out the f22 for the h22, or turbo the f22. I believe the F22 has iron sleeves, which would make it a much more boost friendly motor than the h22.

You, and other idiots like you are the reason why Males have to pay such high car insurance.

Redline it again in 5th and then put it in first or reverse and let the clutch out real fast...

You reckon? I hope you spin out and hit a tree.

And you obviously know nothing about engines. But, go ahead and spend your money. Don't come whining back to us after you've spent $25k and your motor blows because you were too busy screwing your cousin to research anything properly.

And your record won't be clean for long, don't worry.

No, you ARE an idiot. You should have ended that sentence there.

Just because you haven't gotten caught yet doesn't make you a good driver.

Here's an idea. Sell your Prelude and buy a cheap rice rocket. You can find used R6s for, like, $4k these days. It'll have close to 160mph top speed, and it revs to 15k. Then, here's the best part, don't wear a helmet. That way when you wad it, we don't have to worry about you reproducing and further corrupting the human gene pool.

Thanks for coming...

You admit you're stupid, yet you still want to know how to lower the gear ratio for a higher top speed?

Remember , it's "run down the street, not across the road"....

Why not just lock a thread like this. People don't like hearing about going 150mph in a 5th gen or 4th gen so why keep an immature fight going on?

Alright guys. He's been an idiot, he's trying to find out how to speed more, he's breaking the law, giving us all a bad rep, and putting others on the road at risk. He may be doing stupid crap, but the flaming's enough. He gets the picture.

Listen pal, instead of flaming you like a lot have done here, I'm gonna talk sensibly here. There are speed limits for a reason. Its to keep everyone safe on the road. Now you may think you're a good driver, and you could very well be one. But no one's perfect, and you're putting your lude, yourself, and everyone else on the road in further danger by going past these set speed limits. Your record may be clean, but it probably won't be for long if you keep up this dangerous activity. Forget trying to find out how to rev more. I know we all drive these sexy fast cars, and its nice to know the power is there, but you wouldn't want to total it, would you? Do your self a favor, as well as your car, and everyone else on the road. Don't speed, be safe, and drive smart.
