Does your buddy have a sedan or coupe, auto or 6sp?

My friends accord is a sedan with auto.It came better equipped then a max for the price but i think its too bland!I'm still surprised that he can keep up as good as he does,the accord doesnt feel like it has anywhere near the torque.

I pulled one(03 White V6 sedan I saw the rear of it at a previous light) two days ago on 121 by over 1 car from a light and still was pulling till we shut it down at 75. He gave me the thumbs up older guy too.

In 02 there was only one option...Navigation. Don't know if they still do that or not

The car comes LOADED

If the Accord launches right (and uses premium gas), it'll hang with the 03 SE pretty well.

From a roll. From a stop you're probably in trouble off the line - biged8, at the toll booth did you both go WOT, or was it manned so you had to drive off like a responsible citizen?

From my (limited) knowledge of Honda engines, they can make some great HP, but the torque curves are below a 3.5. Still probably a pretty good race though.

The guy I raced was from a roll, I know how(learned) to launch the 3.5 and I had him(03 V6 accord Sedan) out of the hole pretty good and still had a nice lead when we shut down at 75. Yeah when you launch the 3.5 correctly our torque shows it true ability over the Hondas.

We were both going wot.the toll booths were automatic so no person to **** off.usually I take him by 1/2 to 1 car length up to 80 mph,depends on how good of a launch.
