if the cars a 5 speed then u can get it to run alot faster but not to the the point where you be smokeing si's or something. i have a dx coupe and ever since i bought it, i have did about 100 lbs of weight reduction, took off ac belt, ac, add intake, exhaust, grounding kit, 7mm spark plug wires, and gotten lighter wheels. i gotta admit it was alot quicker than i got it, but not to the point where i can beat si's or something...
