I'll agree with you on this one, but Sprintmax is intitaled to his opinion. Maybe he should just think of a better way of putting things than being so rude.

This forum would be so much better if certain regular posters would just lighten up. I'm going back to the Honda sites, they have more fun.
Ok what do the people at the Honda forum have to argue about; nothing, but just wait until the new Civic Si comes out and then all you'll hear is well the 99 Si is faster and so on and so on. Don't leave this site because of a few arragant people. Just ignore them and think about the nice people here like me.

mystical, If you are really that offended by "peabrained idiots" "telling strangers to shut up" on the internet you need to get out some, dont just jump from forum to forum looking for people to make you feel good about your car. Anyway its better that you do leave because now you are going to have to be burned on the stake for being a heritic.

Especially when we all know Sprint is known for messing with people to see if they get riled up.

I respect all Gens of Max but it is no way a VE auto is quicker than a VQ auto 4th or 5th gen. I had a 94 SE auto and to no disrespect it was a dog off the line quick at 75 and higher and the best I could muster out of it was a 8.5 to 60 on its best day and several friends with them near the same couldnt break into the 7's. 4th and 5th gens feel and are quicker than a VE auto, 5spd to 5spd thats another story.

The VE autos were a waste of the production line......

They were horrible! my old 92GXE was quicker than it up to 50 mph, I regretted getting the 94 auto seriously.

Overlay of Jane's 4th gen auto and my 5th gen auto


Mod for mod, a 4th gen auto will have more hp and torque than a 5th gen auto down low. After 5K (because of the variable intake manifold), the story changes.

Jane's car feels much quicker than my car when I go full throttle, and that's because of the aggressive cams the 4th gens have over the 5th gens.

5th gens need to rev up like Honda's VTEC to really start moving.

So, 4th gens have more low end grunt and 5th gens are better up top. Don't race a 4th gen from a stop... and don't race a 5th gen on the freeway.
