Yeah.
When you get pushed back in your seat when you accelerate...let me rephrase that...if you've ever been in a non-Honda with a lot of torque you get pushed back in your seat when you accelerate. That's not because the seat is keeping you from flying out of the car, it's because of the acceleration. Everything in the car is accelerating at the same rate, it's just all bolted down.
