I remember reading an article on shift point vs. rpm vs. speed.
Most cars (stock) are programmed such that you need to shift to 3rd to hit 100km/h (62.5mph).

The going rate for RSX-S up north here is $22.5K-$23K.

i am going to see if i can get a leftover 2002 rsx but the civic coupe looks like my best bet. i am also going to look into the nissan ser spec v because that is cheaper than the rsx but faster thn the coupe.
