Im thinking about giving up my teg and getting a accord, but I want a stick. how are the 4cyl stick accords over the v-6 autos?

check this out http://juvination.virtualave.net/accordspec.html . im not sure how accurate that site is, but the v6 a/t is alot faster. but you could always get a cheap 4th gen and swap in a new motor.

nonono...i used to own a 94 accord 5sp, an after that, changing to my teg. i'd NEVER go back. thas jus my personal preference, but i jus don't think the two cars compare unless ur tryin to settle down more an have a family car.

small, very small aftermarket for the V6 accords, get a 5sp stick, far more options available to you for customizing and an H w/ i/h/e well tuned is a beautiful (and far more fuel efficient thing) notto mention, more horsess.

I haver a 98 Accord 4dr 4cyl with a 5-speed and I have beat lots of V6 accords. The stats that strodda links to are from car manufacturers doing soft launches. If you don't mind launching your car at like 3000-3500 rpm you should have no problem dusting a V6 accord. I have even dusted some V6 mustangs and camaros with my stock four banger. It really comes down to how hard you want to drive your car and what you want to get out of it.

Are you serious??? :confused:

From 1994-1997 the Honda Accord V6 was actually slower than the four cylinder by a smudge. Yes they have power...but go to some sites and check out the curb weight and compare how much extra weight you are towing around with that pos V6. I don't know about the other years.

I know top speed is higher on the V6 but I don't know how often you drive 120...if you do daily come up to Pennsylvania cause my friend and I are the only people I know that fly...everyone else are little bitches and racing isn't big up here.

I'm not too sure about that site strodda posted. Most of the stats look correct, but those Top Speeds are rediculous. A 4cyl Accord never saw 147mph. The gauge doesn't even go up to 147!

I agree with Knorsk. They do weight a lot more. I'd say a 4cyl would be more fun. Good luck trying to find a manual though.

Yeah 147...maybe if it's falling...through a vacuum.

i just post pages, dont always agree with them. where did you see a top speed of 147? and im sure thats easily possible. how about the sir/f20b(200hp stock) or the accord-r/h22a(220hp stock)... and neither are v6.

now if youre talking about usdm accords, of course thats not possible cause they have limiters. but if you chip the ecu, it might be possible. with a stock redline of 6 1/4, i hit the limit at 117 or 118, i couldnt really tell, and i was at low 5k rpm. i would never risk it on the freeway, way too dangerous, but i would like to know the topspeed of a stock u.s. f22. maybe ill dyno sometime before i lose the motor.

I'm rollin an 02 4cyl and I hit 120 pretty easily the other day....don't remember what my rpms were at though. Still not sure where the limiter kicks in at.
