need a suggestion
I am in the market for a new car and I was reading some stats on the new accord. I was just wondering if any one knows some one with a 2 door six speed V-tech v6. I would like to know how good the performance is car and driver said it has a 1/4 mile time of 15.8, I cant believe A 3200lb car with 240hp would go that slow. Any one know any real #s?

Repeat after me:
V-T-E-C....... VTEC Now that's done  The old V6's with 200hp did the 1/4 in low 16s I believe. Add 40hp and I find it hard to believe it can't crack 15.8 Edmunds says: 15.42 @ 92.9 for the 1/4 for the LX V6. Seems reasonable.

i dont think the 6spd is out yet... for that price.. you might wana look at the new mitsubishi evolutions. 273hp 279ft/lb and should run low 13's yet stop and handle on rails. not to mention its a 4 door for daily commuting and what not

I am just looking for a car to haul me and the wifey around with a little snap. The only mods I plan on are appearance. I got my 400hp stang if I want to run something. And foremost I like hondas and the lude is gone, may it rest in peace
