Dunno if I said this already but I straight out ask the service guy in the dealership about mods (catback specifically) and he flat out said that it was going to void the warranty. My RA would be a year old this Jan. 16 and I'm starting to see a little rust in the mufflers.

Other than that, I absolutely loved it. Goodyear GT's worked well in snow. My car felt more stable driving in the snow that my wife's Ridgeline.

Thanks for the confirmation re: warranty issues mitzi.

I have hit 145 on the freeways but it seems to get a little lift from there so any more could turn out bad, it needs a little more downforce to go much faster.

130 mph somewhere in texas, hehe!!!

I was a little disappointed to find my 09 RA only hits 242 km/hr. Its feels like there could be more but their must be an electronic govenor or something that cuts fuel and timing to protect the engine. Sorry I live in Canada I think the conversion puts that speed a little under 155 Mile per hour.

242 isn't fast enough for you?

I plead the 5th. on freeway when I want to feel like a kid again but never in busy traffic only when coast is clear.

I havent drag my RA. Probably never will. RA is made for Rally IMHO.
Plus it get expensive to go fast.

Im more in favor of auto x & precision driving.

I take turns at the posted speed limit without braking.
Tires skipping fighting for traction is mine kinda fun.
Turning & letting the steering wheel spin between my hands.

I did manage to make my tires balder. Tires are expensive.
So Im back to Im not a kid anymore mode.

Plus Speeding ticket(s) are not worth speeding for whatever reason.
cost of a speeding ticket = cost of upgrade part(s) or toward a mod for RA.
I rather have my money go to something I can enjoy.
