97' LX (four door) - Acceleration?

its just the laws of physics, a 1.6L non vtec engine wont go fast. Just keep ur car looking nice & clean. Good quality brakes & tires will help a bit with the handling. Theres a trade off for the slowness, amazing gas mileage, I averaged 31 mpg in the summer, no joke.

wtf does physics have to do with it? D series motors just aren't the greatest platform for big power.
