This morning, I turned left onto the Bruce Highway as I do to get to work. I saw this truck up the road sitting on the shoulder. The stupid f*ck pulled out in front of me, so I try to get into the right. But alas, I can't. So some heavy braking (Thank god there was no lock up) pulls me up behind him at 15km/h. Phew.
I let two others go by, cause they were doing 70-80km/h. I finally get into the right, foot down, and my car goes from 15-110km/h in around 4-5 seconds. I was gobsmacked. Honest.
I've never really tested the potential of my car, but now I know that I have some sort of a weapon underneath my right foot.
Thanks for readin....

I've never actually heard of anyone that was happy with the power from their CFI EA before. Just wait until you convert to MPI and get some decent mods happening. BTW, is your car auto or manual?

EA cfi auto - a weapon? Give me some of your drugs!!! I'm not brave (or stupid) enough to call my car a weapon...
Anyway mate, i put it down to it being the fastest car you've owned, as you said you've come out of a corolla, so it probably does feel fast compared to that. And as long as your happy with it, that's the main thing. Cheers.
