Cool -----honda Enters Wtcc ----

This probably one of the sexy cars in the touring car championship(after alfa romeo)

honda has decided to enter 2.0 accord in wtcc 2005 (world touring car championship) instead of the civic type- r the last civic type-r was developing 270hp at front wheels with 2.0 engine.
i hope it kicks butt like the old super touring accord

One Accord at the Nurburgring 24 hours
Aside the cars for the WTCC and the national championship, JAS Motorsport is developing a customised version for the Nurburgring 24 hours, which will be entered by a company-team of Honda R&D. “That is a very exciting technical challenge” - Mariani goes “this Accord is going to be the very first Super 2000 car used for a 24 hours race”
here are the pics, it does look very aggressive imo.

Nice ride

That Euro-R looks fucking nice in the first picture and the one with the funny flame job. I also want to find out the engine specs on that car. I went to a Hot Import Nights show in los angeles a few weeks ago and did see one TSX/Accord Euro-R. Made me kinda angry.

do wider rear tires help all that much on a fwd car?

i do like the wide fender look too, but would prefer both front and rear fenders to be wider. who was it that had the ssm (i think) with the custom fenders done? that was pretty nice.

That ride was crazy.......I still have some of its pics saved......along with the two chicks.....LOL...... it was nice..

BUt wide fenders do give us the chance for deeper rims...... polished lips with mesh..... so nice and deep~

Arrow

ok dont know the specs on the car,
but i guess since the rules are: (the car should be something like this)
2.0l engine

super 2000 - 260bhp/1150kg

world touring car championship - 280bhp/1250kg
earlier WTCC was ETCC (EUROPEAN)

honda previously entered civic type - r but now they entering with 2.0l accord.
hopefully it wins.
