I recall my nephew going crazy because their box type had a bell you would hear when it reached 100km/h and it was a big deal to be going 100 km/h during those days. Now that I think about it my old 3 cylinder 1L Chevy Sprint could out run that car. Anyways, enjoy the car you at least have a RWD car unlike all the new FWD cars. See if you can swap it with a 4g63T or 4g92 MIVEC that would make a hell of a ride if you could make that swap work.
I agree with the engine swap suggestion ;) plopped a 63T into mine and now it's a machine that does not know what traction means haha
