ok heres the story, Im on the highway on the streets of miami with a friend, we had just left from hooters. I have an automatic 94 celica with an intake and an exhaust thats pretty much it. Well anyways im on the highway and a 2002 civic passes by me with the window half down and two guys looking at me, i know he had some **** in it, it had exhaust and tvs, but i dunno if there was anything under the hood. it was a 2 door ex coupe model. He passes by me lookin at us, and my friend says take it to him, so i caught up to him did the same thing then we were off even. The street was pretty much empty, it was about 1 in the morning. well anyways we were toe to toe, and i think there limiter is about 110 so his car was slowing down, but mines kept going, then i hit the overdrive button, and i was gone. did i make them feel like ****.

if it lights up, it's off.

OD is just an extra gear. instead of having four drive gears registered on the shifter, you have three and a button. I see no way of getting better acceleration with it off. That's like telling a guy with tha manual not to shift into 5th while he is driving in 3rd, get it?

Also, you get better economy with OD on, because you have an extra gear.
