Rep given, a well thought out post. I didn't go through all the posts like you did, but I was getting the same vibe, I'm 24 and my bestfriends very similar in nature to this guy always going on about his Honda Civic Si like there's nothing else in the world that can match it with his FI Turbo kit that he had installed and a good tune.
Although in his defense he did get printed/pictured/featured in a magazine for his car apparently it's the top speed a Civic Si can do with what he has. I only fear he's going to blow his engine to kingdom-come as he has all stock engine parts on it and I don't think it's meant to handle that much power/torque.
Any who, great post, good points and a little pot stirring isn't all bad, as long as it's not trolling.
