what would be the outcome of this at the tracks have a friend who wants to run me.
The accord is stickshift with pretty much all bolt ons you can get in it,hes not boosted but everything else i believe you can put in there is in the car.Iam a 99 max auto with alot of bolt ons Vb modded.Never went to the track with my car yet so i dont know what my times would be

thanks guys
ice

 

You're going to get your **** handed to you.

 

lol thanks

 

what would be the outcome? how bad would i loose if i did lose?

 

Can you kick him in the nuts first?

 

lol that bad huh

 

well i know the car runs around low to mid 14s so iam guessin he would be somewhere in the high 13s area?

 

So if you know this information why are you posting this thread?!

I rode in a V6 coupe AUTO and that thing was pretty fast. I used to have a 99 auto max and the Accord would have beat me.

 

He should be a bit better than high 13s. I was able to pull that with my '03 6MT AV6 with just Tanabe catback, AEM V2 and UR pulley. Of course a trunk full of amps and a few subs as well.

 

Stock those things run 14.5's but that's with a pro driver. WIth all his bolt on's I'd say he's 14.1 at best.

Bottom line, you'll get killed.

 

Depends on his bolt ons Id say. He should easily be breaking 13s with the 6MT.

 

Theres quite a few people running 14.3-14.6 that arent "pro drivers".

 

I don't see that car running better than high 13's without slicks. I don't care what bolt-ons it has. Traction would be too much of an issue.

 

so what would my car be running with the mods i have on it..i mean iam sure my car is in the 14s area...cant see me gettin crushed by the accord

 

Your car isn't going to run better than high 14s. If you've never been to the track my money says you are still in the 15s.

 

what mods do you have.. you never really specified beyond "a lot of bolt-ons" and the VB mod..

 

this is true. theres not as much riding on driver experience in a lightly modded auto as opposed to say.. a boosted manual with nitrous

 

hmm well guess were goin to have to give it a run this week and see what happens.Will post back after we race.

 

I can predict the future on this one, if the AV6 shows up that is....

 

we shall see goin to try to set it up in the next few days

 

Post 60's and trap speeds

 

I've never seen the new Accords pull 13's. Not even modded. They seem to run mostly mid to high 14's. You gotta find the sweet spot to launch those Hondas, they put down about the same torque as a 4th gen, just much more high RPM power.

 

I know what you meant... Anyway.. to that, but still no way in he// is an N/A auto, perhaps even non VI'd, since you never provided specific mods, will ever hold a candle to it(AV6 6MT bolt ons) .

 

Auto 3.0's are dogs, yes, but what I mean is that it has a lot more to do with the gearing than the engine. The Accord has very close ratios and aggressive gearing compared to Nissan's sh*tty 4-gear it's been using since 1985.

A DE-K 3.0 with the new 04+ 5-speed auto would have been quite interesting in a 4th gen body.

 

I know, but facts stand, the 4AT sucks ***** with a 3.0L and a AV6 6MT doesn't. The tq curve also plays alot.

I agree to an extent. I believe it's better said that the gearing is best when fit with the engine. Such as the L67, which has even taller gears than the 4AT Maxima, but yet is no dogg in the least bit. Hondas and sadly enough 3.0L Maximas need close gear ratios to stay within their best power curve, whereas the 3.5L Maxima, and L67 don't have to, or at least it's not as critical.

Since 1985 ...wow, I didn't know that, but they did change the F/D in 2000. Though they should have changed it to the 5AT.

 

I don't believe nissan has ever changed the FD from 85 to 01.

 

We're talking automatics here.

95-99 = 3.619
00-03 = 3.789

My belief is that the reason was to compensate for slightly larger overall wheel/tire diamter, because when comparing the difference in revolutions, it's only 64 rpms difference due to the difference in diameter.

 

sorry bout not putting the mods.Mods are placeracing cai,full exhaust,udp,vb2.5 with cooler,cf hood,my tires and rims are the sawblades.From what my friend tells me hes in the 13s so iam sure iam not a 13s car but i know iam no 15s car eaither.So hopefully i can make it a close race iam sure i can pull him off the line from what i c his car do but after 60 hes vtec will prob kick my a$$.Any help on how to launch the auto?

 

So no VI, and by full exhaust does tha mean? Headers? At least a y-pipe?

 

never said i had a vi...so dont know where you got that from?But yes full exhaust as far as headers,y,random tec cat,catback exhaust.

 

I know you never said you had one, but never said you did either, and I never said you did.

But you also were very vague in posting your mods.

 

ok well yea no vi in the car as of yet so with what i have listed how would you think the race would go?

 

Badly for you.

 

well i guess we will find out in a few days

 

lots of people with your mods are still in the 15s. don't count your chickens before they hatch.

 

but i like chicken

 

Yeah Dude the Accord will Smoke you..

 

damn....i know someone with a manual touring edition 350z who only got 14.5 at the track only has a cai.
what do you think the stock auto 05 accord would do to a modded 4th gen auto n/a?

 

That guy can't drive worth squat.

 

well the race happened last night unfortunatly we couldent do it on a track....so this post will continue in the weekend battles.
