EX Accord 5spd. Vs. Focus ZX2 5spd. Hatch - bone stock
 

Hey I got my accord about a week ago and so my friend has this focus...Its a hatchback one 5spd ZX2 i think thats right... Well anyways we started off from a 5-10 mph roll in 1st gear and said "ready set go" with each other audible so we knew we had a dead start... Now we are even in first when we nailed it but then I had to shift to second and his car is geared higher than mine and red lines higher so he was still in first and pulled me a little... I was at his rear bumber then.. So then Im in second ring that gear out and he does the same.. no missed shifts. I go to third and Im still at his bumber with my nose.. but then when he hits third (later then I do since like i said before its geared higher) I start pulling ever so slowly and then i catch him at his door and then go to fouth and keep pulling slowly hes now at my rear bumper up to about 115-117 when you have to shift out of fourth and go to 5th... I didnt want to go to fifth since you have no power there since its Overdrive and I know I had him all the way up there but I shifted anyways then he passed my right when I did at about 120 mph... but he was still making power in fourth.. But then we slowed down... NowI wonder if we kept going and he went to 5th would Iever catch him again??? i dont know the top speeds of these cars... or i dont even know if it will pull in 5th... Will it???? any body know? But any ways i passed him once i got in 3rd and all the way through 4th so i consider it a kill or at least my cars go a littlemore balls... not like an EX accord has balls anyways but oh welll hope you enjoy... and yes I know its slow I have a very capable 11 sec chevelle... :cool:

heh i should have warned you that the accords are slow, but i guess it's too late. nice kill. any pics of the chevelle ?

yeah..what he sad, Accords are slow, makes me sad cause they are fun
my Accord is putting out only about 145hp....or thats what I've been told
basically a shonogo type of car unless you have a good cash flow

...I don't;(

That sounds about right as far as the story goes. Just a couple things. Its a ZX3, not ZX2. The ZX2 is the 2 door escort. Anyway, the top speen is limited in the ZX3 at 108 by a govener, so he must have at least had a chip in there to raise it.
