KiNK43 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah I was shocked. I test drove one thought crap this isn't right... left it anyway because gearbox was whining.So test drove the one I now own and was like ok this is just how they are. Slow! D16 in my eg was a right feisty little thing. This one however pulls like it's powered by a hairdryer!! Sounds like one too with the electric steering!

simpo Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah will be getting rid once I found a mb/mc. Think honda went down hill after 2001 as all engines b4 that have so much more poke than newer ones. If I was running my mani and straight through I would of been leaving them for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 That and the EF probably weighs next to nothing compared with modern cars! My Accord will keep up with an MB/MC easily as proven in the video meet! Only has 100bhp on a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We need to see that over a longer stretch rather than a 0-60. Haha racing circuits don't have uber long straights.....unless you happen to be in Western Germany.... Accord is good for about 115mph on a long enough runway....like the one they use in F&F6!
