Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

I was running late for work one morning and was cat-n-mousing with my my buddy heading to the interstate. WOT through the on ramp and topped @ 116 in no time in 3rd, shut it down to the speed limit but it felt like it wanted alot more not even hitting 4th yet.

It's been a while since this thread was active but I've gotten my 01 SE up to 129 with 110lbs of subs and a box in the trunk.... It was wanting a lot more and felt real solid but I had to slow down due to a corner
