Today, i realized how quick my MSP really is!!

Their not that bad as long as your not pulling a trailer. The trucks themselves are pretty quick if you really get on it. If you can shift the gears every 2 seconds. LOL.

You are right there, skipping gears also helps quite a bit. Once you get in the higher range they get moving pretty quick.

My girlfriend used to have a 1995 Chevy Cavalier.....it was Rasperry pink....let's say the MSP felt like a Ferrari after driving that piece of engineering disaster.....

I love to modify those trucks. 350hp->425hp is easy.

Before I got my msp I was driving my grandmother's 05 buick lesabre... Doesn't go AND doesn't handle. Every once in a while I still drive it, and cry the entire time.

But when I notice the quickness is when I'm in the passenger seat. The driver will hit the gas unexpectedly and I'll realize that it's not slow. (It's stock so that's all it qualifies for is "not slow")

drove my gf's grand prix for a couple days... got back in the MSP and was so glad to feel the road under me again, and have the car answer when I made a control input... ANY input! lol... that GP is a freckin land yacht!

So, last night, i went out and bought this beater civic ex with the vtec that i am gonna put a little money into and sell to some high school ricer to make an extra buck, well, i drove it to work this morning for s**** and giggles, plus is snowed here and i dont like the MSP in snow.. and when i got home, put it in the garage to start work and drove the MSP over to get some sandpaper to do some body work (gonna sand it down, and put it in primer.. how most ricers like there civics.. haha) and i jumped on my car on the highway, and was like.. s***.. this bastard is really fast.. haha.. i couldnt belive how used to my car i had gotten to not even realize it was that quick.. i know this is at random, but wondering if anyone else ever gets this experience after driving a n/a car? kinda makes the MSP alot more fun than i realized..

When I drive my girls car, a 2006 Civic EX, then drive mine....Hilarious. I get all messed up with the soft clutch and impatient with passing capabilities, haha.

My ex use to have a malibu that i would drive occasionally. Biggest POS car ever. It felt like ur driving a boat. Now she got a new corolla. nice car but sure is ugly.

I love the comment with taking corners at 60 while other vehicles would be on their tops haha...

I had a 1.8 Protege5 before my MSP - handling was very nimble still, but the MSP takes it with the power advantage.

Mind you, i've been driving my boss's 08 Subaru Impreza Sedan....Off the line, obviously AWD ownes, but after that, my MSP is much the same in acceleration i find.....

I am gona have to say after growing up on hondas... ( yes i have had a few hondas and acuras... I miss my little hatch's turn radious.. however.. I loved the hell outta my gsr turbo swap i had in it.. i hated selling it.. i didnt want to but i had to. i joined the army.. and couldnt let it sit there... so wheni got to fort riley i ended up getting stuck into a mazda.. and at first i hated my protege5... it had exhaust, and was lowered.. and that was about it.. so i bought it.. had nothing but problems with it for about... 7 months ( the previous owner treated it like crap) so i got deployed and realized i loved having my little mazda.. it was mine.. planned a turbo build up for it.. built it.. still having some issues.. however it puts a smile on my face every time i drive it.. I love my honda's but ill just buy a honda cbr or something.. im not getting rid of my p5...

My MSP is my daily driver and the only mods I have are Perrin Intake and Perrin Exhaus, its nice but i cant believ how slow they really are after i drive my 2000 Pontiac GTP, built it myself this last year. 360 hp to the crank... its a total sleeper...stock body and stock rims. i ran 11.7 on the 1/4 mile at my local Drag. However, overall isnt as fun as the MSP, the Pontiac can only go in a straight line.
