there are two types of horsepower - REAL horsepower and MENTAL horsepower.

Those performance chips...the classic "15-25 hp just from this muffler!" and the truly immortal Electric Turbo all fall under Mental HP.

That's the same as taking a Civic DX, adding Eclipse "Spyder" badging, along with lots of "DOHC VTEC" stickers and "NOS" stickers, adding the wiper fluid nozzle LEDs, getting flashy wheel covers, and a $20 "Type R" shift knob on eBay without connecting the 12v... mental horsepower = 30,000 at the wheels. Real horsepower? zilch.
Hey, what makes you -feel- fast, right? lol
