I was on Lakeshore Drive and went around some Accord with dual exhaust tips... was all black and had an integrated rear spoiler... I don't much look at Accord coupes so I am not sure what was factory and what was aftermarket.

When I darted out next to him he got on it... We were even for a second and then I put like four cars on him... Traffic got tight, and he got through... I followed, we got on it again and I went around him... I was putting a lot of cars on him since I grabbed 3rd gear and took it to redline... like 5-6 cars.

The 7th generation Accord coupe or 6th?

Northside, southside or downtown? Isn't the speed limit on LSD 45MPH or something like that?

I need to look at some Accord Coupe pics to figure it out.

Hyde Park to North Side run, We only screwed around from 55th to 31st.

Then I know the speed limit

That's my old hood. I will be there Thursday, would like to have seen the run.

Yah, it's a 45mph zone, I shut it down after I walked him the second time... Good thing because there was a cop 2 miles up.

This Accord had gold exhaust tips and a gold badge on the back, I would assume that is not factory?

Gold package is a dealership-installed accessories.

What did the tailights look like? Red going all across the back, or two separate tailights? If the former, then it was a 7th gen witha 240-hp V6 available with a 6-speed; if the latter, it was a 6th gen with 200 hp and 4-speed auto. Seventh generation would be a decent competitor to the 3G TL, whereas the sixth gen would stand no chance.

I think the headlights were separate. Car looked nice but he was crawling.

I also raced a last gen 330xi, what was he thinking. This was off a lite...

I need some custom wheels, and then I'll get more races.

maybe it was a v6 auto, was the v6 badge red or black lettering?

The 6th gen Accord coupe looks like a pseudo-NSX from the back. The new 7th gen has a more rounded look, and mercedes-style taillights.

While you were going past him, you didn't happen to notice whether it had 16 or 17 inch wheels? The 6 speed Accord has 17" versus 16" for the auto.

It was a very nice car, had ground effects that looked factory.. I might have had 17's, like a gunmetal colour?
