vir2L · 03-09-2002, 12:25 PM

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?

vir2L · 03-09-2002, 12:27 PM

also would a eclipse gs auto with cold air beat my car?

vir2L · 03-09-2002, 12:28 PM

the eclipse a 2000 model.

I'd say the Accord V-6...they all are auto, but they have torque...

prelude4u304 · 03-09-2002, 12:48 PM

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

ur best bet of beating the accord hands down is up to and through corners.

vir2L · 03-09-2002, 04:59 PM

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

Vision Lude · 03-09-2002, 05:29 PM

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.

here are my results from a dead stop:
stock lude ss vs av6 i/p : real close, ss lude might pull 1/4 of a car

ss lude w/cai vs av6 w/cai: av6 will be 1/2-1 car ahead
ss lude i/e vs av6 w/cai: ss lude has no real chance

from a roll: if u think ss ludes supposed to pull like crazy on top end of 3rd gear, think again. av6 pulls like a mofo

MyFirstPrelude · 03-09-2002, 11:03 PM

I should of also mentioned mods

AV6: Stock
Me: CAI at the time

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.

vir2L · 03-10-2002, 11:07 AM

hey sorry about the the bad spelling. Well afterwards we talked a little and went our ways.

DaRawkus8 · 03-10-2002, 08:16 PM

I'LL BEAT YOU IF U LOSE .... AND IF YOU DO LOSE ADDING A BAD REP TO THE SS'S

joedaddy · 03-10-2002, 09:06 PM

hey...you know what...

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...

xratedSH · 03-13-2002, 08:50 PM

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
