Hey I have a prelude ss and this guy I know has an accord v6 with altezzas but no engine modifications. I have aem cold air and mugen exhaust. Who would win?
You should defiantly kill da gs eclipse, as for da accord, they do have da torque but are also heavy as well. I have heard a lot of SS ludes beating v6 accords and some getting raped. so it matters how u drive ur SS. i dunno if its da best way but just take it to around 8k every gear and maybe u can win, just go race and see wat happens
I probably would have more horse power than the accord and the accord I think weighs more ( correct me if I am wrong) and I have sportshift were as the accord doesn't I think
If you were stock than the Accord would probobly win but w/ your mods I think you have the nose. As for the Eclispe I would assume that you would kill em.

My girl has the Accord V-6 and its funny she trys to humor me all the time at stop signs (knowing I'm a car nut ) and she pulls much faster at the start than me but she usually slows down before I can ever really catch up to her. I get closer but nothing on a 1/4 mile if that is your main concern.

Thanks..but this is not something where I'm doing a 4kish drag launch or something more so at idle...and I have been practicing my launch with help of some posts by you also.

Well since my last replay I had left to go chill with some friends. We met up with the accord but not with the eclipse. The accord guys was scared to race me. We ended up at the light so we were gonna go at green. He got me off the line but when i hit second vtec I had 1-car on him. Then when I hit third I had 2-cars . Fourth is what decided it. I hit vtec had I was up five-four cars. After words we talked a little and then I had to go. I thought he was surely gonna have me by a car or so but ended up beating him four-five cars.
it's actually a pretty close race.. but the nod does go to the accord V6 in the 1/4mile or anything shorter... the AV6 pulls pretty hard in the first 2 gears, in comparison the SSLude kinda bogs off the line....
BUT the 3rd gear in the Accord is pretty hopeless, it's really geared for gas mileage and in the 1/4 the SS lude actually starts to creep up slowly near the end.. so I could imagine it would pass the accord in a longer race(never tried myself)
(I was talking about stock btw)
on a side note, if you have an Accord V6, take the resonator out, damn the car sounds a lot meaner now(only audible with windows down) and it actually improved my times by .1 cant beat free power

the way i see it...if they v6 guys are smart enough to shift
by themself...1 to 2 to 3 to 4...they can drop .5 sec off da
quarter mile...
we did it in my friend 240 SX auto...
anyhow...also he might have left it in D4 with basically means
you'll kick ass...if he left a D3 i would think it would be a closer race...
I am NOT doubting ur win...but if he "knew" how to race his car..
it would have been MUCH closer...
but anyhow...
in the accord, leaving it in D3 or D4 or 1 doesn't change how the car launches off the line.. they all start from 1st regardless and D3 or D4 doesn't change the way it shifts under full throttle acceleration.. just don't try to put it in 2 off the line.. hahaha I've done it before, didn't realize it wasn't D2.. it actually starts in 2nd, holy crap thats one time the V6 felt torqueless.....
manual shifting doesn't help all that much in the V6 for me, the revlimiter is really low , you can time it so that it shifts right at red, but for me, it hasn't given the results you got in the 240.. maybe another tenth.. ?

nah...basically...i said D3 because...so it would prevent da damn
car from shifting into 4th...
I have a 98 Accord V6 no mods & a '99 Prelude SS with CAI. Off the line the Accord pulls put the Prelude catches by end of 2nd or start of 3rd. Keep in mind also that the Accord is SOHC vs. DOHC on the Prelude.
i have no problem whoring AV6's from a roll or stop...my mom used to have one, and up top they run out of breath, anything above 5k rpm and they start dying
