Preferably when passing a Honda Ricer...that's always great to see those guys freak out...

I like hitting it on wide open streets with plenty of people walking around Also I second Jahntassa, on hitting it next to a "thug" bumpin to nelly in their Civic with their seats layed flat, their 45" "dubs", and their 3' triple GT wing.

wow, i bet you are the first person to hit lift in the base! tell me how did you do it?? you think nelly is annoying there? try living in the st. louis metro area where there is no escaping it and everyone thinks it's cool to talk like them, just because they are from st louis.

I don't like 1st gear lift because it falls out of lift in 2nd gear for a bit. 2nd through 5th gear lift is awesome, gives you plenty of time to hear that 2ZZ singing through the AEM CAI. About geographic location, I hit it whenever there is wide open spaces to roam.

i love toying with civics while in 3rd. I can hear them downshifting to keep up, but once i hit lift in 3rd, that mo-fo is gone! I think 5th in lift is the best, primaraly due to the speed
