Sorry, a 1.8T GTI and a V6 Accord would eat your car alive. The GTI runs mid-high 15s stock and the Accord can run with the VQ and VE..

i've killed V6 accords man. it's not that hard. I've never raced a V6 accord in a standard though. i don't even think they make em in a stick do they? i dunno, but it's been close a few times, but it's not that hard. then again, everybody bit@#es about bmw's and i beat 3 series all day long. what's the deal?

he definetly should have beat the accord.
I walked on a 93' Accord 5-spd that my neighbor had. And i was only running off 5 cylinders, because i was having valvue guide problems with my # 6 cylinder.
I also walked on a 5-spd 89' Prelude.

it's all about the driver baby.

0-60?

hey, I am just wondering how when your VG has 175 hp...it runs a 7.4 0-60 This is because I just checked and the VE 5spd runs 7.6 (with 190 hp) and the ppl at Motor Trend doing it like a hundred times to get the best time... That was also when the car was new. Do you have soemthing other then hp that makes you run faster?

Never made a V6 5spd accord

Sith, you never raced a 5spd "5 cylinder" accord. Honda has never made a v6 accord with the option of a manual transmittion....

thank you, jambo

now, my car only has the cone filter, same goes for the accord v6 auto. his was a mid 90's model. other than that, my car is basically stock. as i've said, i had a good launch and had him thru second gear, changed to 3rd and
he takes off - did mid 90's v6 accord have vtecs? anybody know?

maximum5spd - what do u have in your max?

i'm planning on either a vg-t engine or a built na vg.

i said a 93' 5spd Accord, and that I (me) was running off 5 cylinders. Well my 6th was running but mostly burning oil and coughing, because it didn't like Chevron Supreme gas. We lined up at a stop sign. A ways ahead my lane merged into his. They say go while i'm fiddling with my Auto switch to put it into power. And he takes off spinning his wheels alittle, i look up and say f*ck and gun it. And i still got infront of him to merge safely.

we also both gunned it from 75mph. I still walked on him from there.

If you did research you find that the 92-94se runs 6.7 according to our beloved nissan makers posted in their 1992 ad campaign. the 95-99 maxima's have a completely different engine. the 95 5 speed was 0-60 in 6.6. These numbers fluctuated up to 7.1 thru the next couple years. These #'s are backed up by a multitude of magazine tests. I as the proud owner of a 92SE realize, I am the proud owner of a car that does 0-60 in the same time as the 2001 maxima even with it's extra 32 hp, and aluminum block! If I could fin the problem... See 92 loss of power thread!
