Ok here is the story I raced a 2001 V6 mustang in my 1999 Honda Civic Dx

the mustang was auto. So I beat him off the line and am win but half a car 2nd he pulls beside me and 3rd he is in front

really pissed I lost to a v6 mustang so I am like I am going to get my moms car I will kick your ass in that

she has a 1998 Honda Accord LX 150 hp with 152 Lb torque

so we line up to race now the accord is auto so I but it 1 get ready to race the v6 kills me off the line and smokes my moms car but like 2 or 2 1/2 cars I am like wtf

so I do it again and just put it in drive 4 it did better off the line but still lost by 1 1/2 that really hurt me

Tell me why is my mom car slower then my dx

weight or long gears or too much drivetrain loss trough the AT

Yea the auto tranny and weight of the car.

Gotta have a lot to do with the AT. I have a 2000 Accord w manual trans. The last time I remember racing a new V6 Mustang, I was sorta stuck by his rear fender. I messed up a little in launch though. This was before I slapped the heavy rims on my car.
