Anyone else getting whip lash?

I got sick from driving my car. Have a really sore neck now and minor headache but still loving my ride.

While the Evo is a quick car it is certainly not whiplash inducing in stock form.

After I put the cold air intake on my ES, I make all my passengers wear a neck brace. Watch out Evo's.

My Evo is not stock. It's pushing around 300 HP and 300 ft/lb to the wheels. Earthman, I have over 20 years of experience driving manual, so don't knock me. Maybe more experience then your age.

Just think of it as strength training for your neck. Come on guy. That much power with allwheel drive does put alot of strain on the driver. That's why we install supportive racing seats. I'd say headaches and neck strain are a small price to pay.

lol.. not trying to start a fight here dude.. (sorry if i offended yu).. Nehow. those recadros dont have good support for ur neck. I'm a tiny *** indian dude.. so i'm snug as a bug in a rug in those recardos, but they are kinda unconfortable for tall people.

Well here are some Options :
1. Get some RalliArt neck pillows. They mount nicely on the recardo harness holes. I dont know where u can get em but a few of the guys here have em. Nice support for ur neck.

2. Change the seats. Racing seats like them rnt for everyone. There are much better ones that you can get, cozy, comfty

BTW.. Ride looks ***ing awesome under the hood.

High Voltage, yeah I do have a civic (aint nothing wrong with that). This was the first car I bought for the intent to mod. It's a 00" Si supercharged running 9psi. It runs high 13's. Not as fast as the evo but it's still a joy to drive to work on a daily basis. It takes less gas then the Evo. Don't make me post up my civic pics now. It could blind you.
