new? true..but the core's been the same since 95. since 1995 model year, the VQ30DE has been used in Maxima and now in altima as a VQ35DE. it's just a tweak in the intake/exhaust side that varied the hp numbers. other than that..it's the darn same motor...any more questions?

I know many accords running after 150K miles. Thats enough proof to me that they are reliable.

They maxima dudes just come in here so they can brag about how much faster the maxima is than the accord. Honda isnt and wont compete with the maxima by getting into a horsepower war. nissan is geared more towards performance with the maxima, while honda is geared more towards family and comfort with the accord. two separate markets. Gearing the accord towards more of a family car is what makes it sell like hell--and that is what they will continue to do. Its sales ran over the top of the sales of the maxima last year.

ya thats why the Accord LX V6 still won the car and driver family sedan test when its in its 5th year of prouduction, also its last before the redesign, the altima they said was 1 second faster yet it still lost, cause of the cheap interior among other things
take that u nissan lovers!!

For what it's worth, Car and Driver got a 7.5 0-60 out of both the coupe and sedan EX V6. Not bad, but not great either. I don't get into a lot or races with mine. That's what my other car's for:ylsuper

I beat a 97 Maxima w/a short-ram and a 98 w/a CAI. I was stock. Both were 1/4 miles. watch out for the new Maximas and the v6 Altimas though.

I got into an accidental race with a 4-door V6 the other day, newest iteration. We were both at the stoplight and neither one of us sped off the line, but then I hear him rev up and out and he spurts about half a car-length ahead of me and I'm like, WTH??? So I'm already in second but I punch it and rev out to ~6k, pass him, go to third, rev out to ~4k and leave him a good couple of car lengths behind. The whole time he's revving hard, I can hear him over my engine with the windows up. Turns out he wanted to pass me so he could get over into the rightmost lane and take the exit ramp. Ooops!
 I would've let him over if he had just USED HIS DAMN TURN SIGNAL!Sorry. I just thought it was kinda funny. But that's my Accord V6 story. He kept up pretty well, better'n most cars. Don't they make like 200hp and comparable torque? With a decent redline, too?

If he just wanted to get over, I'm sure he wasn't trying to race you. He let you get in front of him so he could cross over behind you. Don't flatter yourself.

So you're saying he would've beat me if he HAD been racing?
I like Accords just fine, I have a lot of friends who drive Maestros and Cielos, but I don't think he was revving out to be cool.

Probably not. If he had been trying, I'm sure it would have been a lot closer though. It's not just the car. It's the driver that also makes a difference.

True. For example, I raced a C4 Corvette in my last car and won. OK, my last car wasn't exactly stock either (91 VW Corrado G60, 15 lbs of boost, BPU), but a C4 is still a monster. I won because he botched his 1-2 shift, not because my car was faster, 'cuz it sure as hell wasn't.

I see you changed your signature to look somewhat like mine.
