run him from a roll first. you can probably take him from a dig too since you have intake, exhaust and 6mt

Sonnick

She's auto...it will be close.

07HONDATL

thanks sonnick for correcting that for me i was like me 6mt nooo..lol the bmw and i are both autos...

iTrader: (3)

oh. i wonder why i thought you were 6mt? my bad. should be a close race from a dig. if you have tiptronic, do it from a roll

is the 328i a coupe? if so, is there a major weight difference?

07HONDATL

the 328i he has at least is a sedan and i have a sedan as well weight is about the same were both around 3400lbs i believe around there maybe alil more give or take

ohs ok, from your avatar i assumed coupe for some reason, but ok, seems like a good race xP

i think it will be a good race with the Honda winning.

theoretically it's gonna be close.

I've driven the E90 328i and own an 07 AV6 EX-L (both autos) and my SOTP feel tells me that the the Bimmer is quicker. Honestly (and maybe it's because my prior car was an 02 Maxima), the 7G AV6 5AT is a slug.

MobTownTL

iTrader: (1)

i have a 02 maxima, and yeah they are sleeper status to me because they pull pretty hard when you get on it. they have the vq35de engine same as g35's.surprised the hell outta me lol.

Blazing GT

Them 328i are slow. I have a co worker who has one at my job and pulled on him everytime.....you should win.

seems to me that the 06-07 Auto AV6's are much slower than the 03-05 AV6 Autos. All 1/4 mile times I have seen prove that and I don't understand why! Same for the 98-99 AV6's were much faster than the 00-02 AV6's.

I have beat a couple 330i Autos and a older E36 M3 Auto all stock. I would say with I/E you should pull out on top. It will be close all through 1st gear thats for sure!

F23A4

I'm NOT that confident that my AV6 5AT could beat a well driven K24 Accord 5MT from 0-60mph.

While I love the fuel economy (good for a 240hp+ midsize V6 sedan), I can't think of a slower V6 family sedan for the 07 model year. Well equipped/built car overall but, I can't wait to turn it back in (off lease) in 10 months.

MobTownTL

shifted towards making gas savers. less hp = more mpg (most of the time) i think more people buy hondas for being a more gas friendly family-type car than the performance aspects.

seems pretty understandable to me.

SatinSilverAV6

iTrader: (2)

lol I am confidant you would beat one to 60mph. Even with an Excellent driver the 7th gen K24 5MT will run to 60 in about 7.5 seconds. Look on you tube at the 0-60 times of even the modded K24 5MT don't even compare to the 7th gen V6 auto stock vids.

SatinSilverAV6

iTrader: (2)

You know I would think that More HP saves more gas since the vehicle would have a better power to weight ratio. Less effort to pull the weight down the road. Thats why the 7th gen AV6 gets better mileage than the 6th gen AV6 even with 40HP more and 17TQ more.

you should take him
328i is weaksauce

07HONDATL

i never really thought my car was a SLUG and moved like Shit lol..i guess its cause im a girl and dont really need ne thing to fast or to extreme. im pretty happy wit the accord it moves quite well for me.i think the car is quick not fast but quick ive beaten my sisters 2005 acura TL 3.2 liter 270 Hp so i think i can take a 328i it would be close but i do think id come out on top.. and i dont think the older accords like the 03 and 05 are faster then the 7th gens at all i race alot of older accords and ive beaten them all. but then again everyone that drives isnt proffesional..lol..but i got this from car and driver its a comparsion test of the 7th gen auto accord Vs the hyundai sonata V6 auto.. and this is what they said





Honda claims a mild 4-hp increase in engine output, to 244 at 6250 rpm. We've never thought the Accord was underpowered; Honda apparently thought otherwise. The 2006 Accord ripped through the acceleration test to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, a tie with the Sonata, then strongly broke to the front to clear the quarter-mile in 15.1 seconds at 95 mph. For the record, the old Accord needed 7.0 seconds to hit 60 and was 3 mph slower in the quarter.




2006 Honda Accord EX V-6 - Comparison Test

Highs: Muscular handling, serious acceleration, best-dressed interior.
Lows: Suspension muscles tell you about all the bumps, back-seat space tightest of the group.
The Verdict: The nice little Accord grew up to be a muscle car.




i heard the 7th gen 6MT does 0 to 60 in 5.9..but those 0 to 60 times are like with proffesional drivers..lol not the fastest car in the neighborhood but shes decent and i love her..lol ttyl guys be safe

phil2

why are you even racing cars like this?

07HONDATL

why not..lol shits and giggles my friend shits and giggles..lol

F23A4

yeah, I have that Car and Driver issue and it did encourage me in leasing my AV6, as the test numbers were very similar to those that I posted at the track in my Maxima. Unfortunately, the reality is that my Maxima could run circles around my AV6. Now, had I come from my old 99 Accord 4cylinder directly to my 07 AV6 then, I would better appreciate that 244/211 of its J30A5.

As far as the base 3G TL comparison, both cars are neck-and-neck when it comes to acceleration, with the TL pulling away at higher speeds.

Back to the topic, dont sleep on the 328i.

hmm, i guess they figured out how to become more efficient xP

Something is different with your Accord though F23A4. I remember you said you ran a 16.3 at englishtown and that is the SLOWEST 7th gen AV6 time I have ever seen for your model. I have seen stock 6th gens run faster than that at englishtown. Even when i ran my accord at 100 degrees at 3075ft elevation I still ran a 15.5 stock lol. Your accord stock should be running atleast low 15's at that track.

TL|GTX

lemme tell u this i raced my freinds Bmw 328i with my base TL, and whipped him, nothing specail.

F23A4

Quite simply, it's DEAD off the line. Granted, I've not gone back to the track since then and it just may do a bit better but let's just say that I'm still not inclined to towards drag racing it. And , I've seen a few 6G V6s run in the 15.7-15.8 range.

On the highway (where mid-range is more into play), my AV6 feels almost as quick as my 02 Maxima....provided I keep the rpms on the high side. Overall (and like most Hondas), it's generally a nice car in search of some more torque under the hood and a little more interior space --- both of which seemed to have been addressed in the 8G Accord. ( to Honda on that!)

iforyou

iTrader: (1)

lol, after all, your J30 is missing 500cc if you put it against the VQ35.

F23A4

Less than an hour ago, I had run with an new Charger RT on an empty stretch of highway (which will remain nameless to protect the not so innocent) and judging by acceleration from 85 to 130mph, I think my Accord might be a bit quicker than my Maxima @ midrange.

Regarding the RT, he was already 3 car lengths ahead of me @ 85mph when he floored (heard the exhaust) and then I floored it. When I was at 130mph I figured he had to be going about 15 to 20mph faster and a few bus lengths ahead of me. (Kind of makes me wonder how much bad the margin might have been had I been driving a TL Type S 6MT rather than Accord V6 5AT)

MobTownTL

iTrader: (1)

yeahs i've floored it with my maxima at midrange and didnt get the same pull but i think the maxima has more low end power anyways. that and i was in an auto xP no downshift? D=

F23A4

I may need to borrow my old Maxima (which is now owned by my wife's cousin) and hook up with my son to do some comparison runs vs the Accord.

06is350

Is that you in your avatar? You handsome devil! I think your maxima would take your accord.

F23A4

LOL!!! I record any of the 'testing' we do.

SatinSilverAV6

iTrader: (2)

Since both are stock I am going to say that the accord will win from a roll and the maxima will win from a dead stop.

F23A4

The Maxima still has the Injen CAI, Cattman Y pipe and UR crank pulley. The CAI killed some of the lowend from the moment I installed it but seemed to gain @ midrange. The Ypipe (which was my first mod) seemed to be an improvement throughout the entire power band. The jury is out on the pulley but I picked it up for only $90 and UR claims a decent increase of 8-12hp.

SatinSilverAV6

iTrader: (2)

ahhhh well then the Maxima should win then! Didn't realize you had the mods on it. Still it will be interesting to see how the accord stacks up from a roll. Let us know the outcome(with videos!)

MobTownTL

iTrader: (1)

LOL cattman? D= i think they've discontinued those parts haha

F23A4

That mod was installed on my Maxima back when you were in middle school.

06is350

You're lucky.. It took me almost 2k(full catback exhaust/mid pipe and intake) just to pick up 10 hp!! I dynoed @ 268RWHP!! There was a s/c package but it cost 6k for maybe 40hp!

MobTownTL

iTrader: (1)

lol true, i heard sound clips of it last year when i decided to try and mod it, x_x imo sounded like shit lol the headers and the exhaust mods x_X horrible sounding backfire. high-pitched tone. but power is power i guess xp then i found out it was discontinued and joined acurazine =]
