2004 Honda Accord??? Bring it on!!!
I don't need to give you guys details, but basically I raced my cousin's girlfriend. She drives a 2004 Honda Accord Coupe (V6), but it's auto. Anyhow, I was surprised when I looked in and saw no SS mode on the thing. Anyhow, we launched it off the line. We were literally neck to neck until about end of first, then my TL-S woke up, got an extra shot of VTEC, and pulled 1-2 cars ahead. We did this launch 4 times, and everytime the same outcome. Then we raced from 80 km/h (50 MPH). I kept the car in SS mode and put it in 2nd gear. She simply floored the gas, and my god how I blew past her. Her face was priceless seeing as she had a V6 also, and just because I'm more experienced then her (racing), I fu(king raped her!!!
hahaha women drivers!!! no offense Type S Lady!!!

You're so full of crap ...
think about what you just said: "at the end of first, my car got an extra shot of VTEC and gained one to TWO WHOLE CAR LENGTHS on this accords...."
that's just ridiculous. I'm gunna raise the BS flag, and you can enjoy the replies from those who choose to believe this story.
You at best gained 1/2 a car length on this accord to 60-70mph. Just admit it and we can all sleep better at night.

No doubt the TL-S is faster than the Accord Coupe V6 Auto, my roommate has one and my car "feels" faster, although maybe I just drive a little crazier.
Accord Coupe V6 6spd though, you're gonna be hard pressed to beat it unless you've got mods.

Typical exaggerated kill story. I love it when 2002-2004 auto Maxima owners or automatic G35 owners come in here and say how they dusted a TLS by 2 carlenghts. THESE ARE NOT POSSIBLE UNLESS THE OTHER PERSON WASN'T TRYING. Same goes for the auto v6 Accord. I can see the sedan losing by 1 or 2 carlengths because maybe it weighs more but not the coupe. I am not flaming the poster but I just wanted to chime in and remind you that 2 carlengths is a lot of real estate. I believe the kill story, but not quite all the details. Come on: blowing by a 240 hp v6 Accord coupe? Give it a rest.

did I forget to mention she had extra weight in her car? She had like 100 lbs of **** in the trunk, and an extra passenger (my cousin) with her. So could that have been a factor in why I beat her by 1-2 cars???

Jeff I think what you said is very possible. I took mine to the track and ALMOST beat a V6 new Accord with nitro, and I do have the papers to prove it or do a search, I post that some time ago. So, stock for stock I don't think it is a problem.

yeah, there's no way you had her by that much every time. The V6 Coupes are fast! That should have been a damn close race every time. I've heard a couple stories from TL-S drivers who've raced V6 Accords, and they all say the same thing...do not underestimate them! I still agree that with a good off the line start a TL-S should win, but it would still be a very close race.

Whats so BS about the story? I have wasted '04 Accords, both I4 & V6's (Auto's only)...so whats w/all the negative comments? Maybe Jeff (sc354) just explained the story with poorly choosen words. ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Nice kill Jeff.

I don't know if this will change the story at all, but her car only has 700km on the thing. I warned her about racing a virtually brand new car and how she could potentially do long term damage to the engine pushing it that hard when it's pretty new, but she didn't seem to care...she was like (who cares, it's my dad's car). When she said that it just pissed me off even more. I mean, the a-spec that I drive is not actually mine on paper, but I'm the primary driver on it, and even though I drive it more, I still respect that it's my father's, and I take care of it. Never push it hard when the engine is cold, always taking it to get serviced and so on.
So yah, her engine I'm sure is not fully broken in yet, which leads me to believe I would have no problem taking her by 1-2 car lengths if we ran it again today. I'm sure once she has a couple thousand km's on the car, it will be a bit faster.
anyways guys, I've been on this forum to long to ruin my reputation, and honestly why would I do so by posting up a lie? It doesn't make sense. I'm not lying about this...

bottom line, women are very aggressive drivers, and in my cousin's girl's case, she can't seem to handle the power

Usually when I look over, it's some woman driver who pretends like you're not even there. And when you manage to avoid an accident and give them the dirtiest look at the next light, they keep their vision forward as if you don't even exist...

This is a semi-unfair race because...
You were in 2nd gear to start (in SS), while whe cruised @ 5th. The reason why you jumped ahead of her every time is because while you floored the pedal to go forward, her car had to pause and downshift first.

those v6 accords are pretty quick but i doubt they are faster then a tl-s, a while back some kid in one of those was flooring it at every light... a light down we both lined up. i torque braked launched got some wheel spin for about 2 seconds simply passed him but he couldnt catch up he was about half a car behind me we went all the way till about 100 then slammed on our brakes for the next light, then he turned. i have no problem in believing jeff whoopped da **** out of that accord.

It's not bad on the car, so long as you don't do this on a daily basis. I tend to do it about 1-2 times per month...that won't hurt your car.

If when you're brake torquing, you're flooring the gas and revving the engine up to redline before you release the brakes ... and doing it 2 times a month you're gonna have major problems with your car down the road.

Launching at too high of an rpm would cause the car to spin like crazy and you'd most likely lose a race.
