raced this accord yesterday...

both races were from a stop. that's my friend's 99 accord v6 with intake and dual exhausts btw. first race, i launched good and got him by around 3 cars by 3rd gear and it was over. second race, it was around 2 cars. by mid 3rd gear, he was slowly catching up but we had to slow down coz. there was a stop light ahead. i think if we would have gone on, he would have passed me up. at least i beat him until 3rd. i was pretty surprised though. dont the accords v6 have the same engine as the cl 3.0?

look in "stuff" under my "www"

yeah, the 3.0's & Av6 are SLOW off the line. They usually catch up by the middle/end of 3rd gear tho. You must have had some sweet launches! Good kill

Yes its a auto, but there is noway a 2.2/2.3 is holding me off until 3rd gear, I would doubt it could hold a 3.0 through 1st gear.

what are your mods?? Any bolt on 5spd 2.3 could beat you till at least 60mph on a decent launch. You must be forgetting that the 2.3 manual and 3.0 both have similar 1/4th times, even if they both have the same bolt ons.

I posted a thread a while back when I raced my friends dads 3.0 and I took him by a car till 70, then by 90 he was like 2 cars ahead. That 3.0 was bone stock. I didn't have that great of a launch tho, and I had 18"s then.

yea, the av6's are slow off the line. all this talk about not being able to even keep up with a 3.0 off the line makes me want to race one. anyone wanna race? hehe. i know on the highway, it's no game, but from a stop to 3rd or 4th, it's possible like ghander said.

Mervyn...I'm up for a race. Come to UF.

I've added some stuff since we raced last time on the highway. Not so much added power, but should get me off the line a little quicker.

My 3.0 has never been slow off the line!

I've never had a 2.2/2.3 beat me (either from a roll or from a dead start)!

BTW: I'm talking NO nitrous.

Three


EDIT: Two were 2.2, the other one was a 2.3 w/headers & intake and one had a cat-back.

I had axle-back exhaust and CAI.

if they didn't get you till at least 40-50 they can't drive, or your 3.0 is a freak.

I'm not talking about a launch (that's not a race). I'm talking about the 1/4 mile.

However, I do believe one beat me off the line, but by the time I hit 2nd (or 3rd--I don't remember), I was ahead.

yeah, i'm not saying the 2.x will beat it, or even hang till 90, but even with equal mods, they should hang till 60-70 if they are driven well.

They should jump a few cars pretty easy through 1st gear, and then the 3.0 reels it in the rest of the race

that's what i'm saying. some of you guys sound like the 3.0 is a 14 second car. it's just a few .X different. like SooDark said, if driven well, a stick 2.X can hang with a 3.0 at least until 60. if you race 1/8 then it's pretty close. if the 3.0 is stick, then it's a different story.

dusbuster, what about w/o spray, what are you then?

I'm running an 18 second 3.0....and that's on a 30 degree day!

I hope those boys at v6 get that auto tranny finished and fine tuned. I'd like to get more horsepower to the wheels

As soon as my Stone headers are done getting installed we'll meet up. K.o.r.e motorsports is installing them and the headers are being a bitch. They need cut and extended in 2 spots and cut a rotated in 2 other spots. Im waiting on piping from cali to come in right now.

Haha, anyone else want to put any money on this race?

You guys have way too much faith in the f22.

Full mods with spray, f22 will be in the 14s at best. j30as can do that without nitrous. With boltons and nitrous, you've seen what dustbuster and fastvteccl run.

dude! if you're forgetting, dust is still in the 14's. Even with his new setup. I'm sure he can break 14 but he hasn't yet. And Fastvtecl's best time ever was a 13.6. Doesn't mean he runs high 13's all day long. Even if he can, he has alot more than e/i/h.

i'm sure you can get an n/a j30 in the 14's if thats what your trying to say, but not with just bolt on's. And I don't think anyone here has done it yet.

So you're saying if Keith didn't have nitrous...It would be a 15 second car? But with nitrous he drops to a 13.6?

I dunno...Just sounds a little too fishy. I could be wrong...but whateva.
