Well I dont think you do and thats still just your opinion and it probably aint worth much anyway. Oh and by all means please enlighten me with your well endowed knowledge of comedic humor and antics. And to save you the time here:

i aint gonna tell on you for it, damn.
im just saying, its happened before, but i think it's been for using it as a LOGO on a website or something, an avatar probably wont peak his interest.

a gsr with ihe is NOT FAST in the 1/4
EITHER IS A PRELUDE HOMIE!
and on top of that i bet you use the term "smoked" a little too liberally

what i mean is eventhough the gsr has more hp than a stock sohc, they do not run even a respectable time in the 1/4

lol.... warp speed ahead captain!!!!!

But anyway if the motor is completely stock you have no reason to chance the crossover. Now if it was fully built, then thats another story and only the dyno can tell.

14s is pretty fast on the streets and besides u got a c5 in a hatch thats only at 13.9
u make it seem as if ur that fast

don t down size on single cams and gsrs when ur not even that fast
by the way a very good driver in an all stock type r can run low 14s
