WOW....s2000 would totally rape the Accord in some turns. You are comparing a grocery getter to a roadster.

still the lack of torque and s2ks poor powerband gearing and weight isn't enough.

both are mid 14s sec cars granted s2000 will do better in turns.

how many ft lbs is the v6 Accord?

He beat a Mach 1 in a stock 05 accord... Hey man, while your at it, just come out with a story beating a Cobra or a ZO6... if your going to throw out bullshit kill stories, go for the gold.

i work for honda and have driven accords s2k's and the like. The accord MIGHT beat an s2k off the line, if it has the 6 speed and a good driver because the 2k has no torque. After the jump the 2000 would rape the accord.

You might be able to beat a mach 1 if he a was a bad driver or if it was a fake

A little late on the reply but as a mach1 owner i gotta get my input. It was prolly a mach2, they look just like mach1s just without the drivetrain. Ive worked at 2 dealerships and driven a few newer v6 accords and they are quick but no f'n way they would hang. Mach1s stock have gone 13.1 at 107 and with just tires have known to break 12s. The hp doesnt drop off, the 4 cam v8s revs to 6800 rpm and the motor uses truck cams for better tq. Giving an excelent hp/tq combo. If your in the bay area ill give ya a run, cuz without a rocket up your ass you aren't beating no mach1. Fwd might be more efficent but my car still puts more power to the wheels then yours makes at the fly and my car weighs about 3500. I dont wanna hate on hondas i actually consider hondas one of my favorite brands, but a v6 accord is more of a refined car where as the mach1 is built to go fast. And i dont know where you get off calling a GT slow even theyre at least as fast as your car.

A little example of a mach1 (Ground was damp so i had to ease it a bit):

Inside

hmmm.....i drove this kids Mach 1 not too long ago. Didnt feel like anything special to me. Ive been behind the wheel of numerous low 13 second cars and i can tell you that that mach 1 is not gonna fucking hang. Bring your ass to florida...ill run you with a GSR. Might not win but i can guarantee that itll be a hell of alot closer than you expect.

Uhhh check muscle mustang and fast fords, they ran a 13.1 not to mention numerous private owners who have run 13.1s stock. Feel free to visit http://www.mach1registry.org and check out the 1/4 mile list. 13.1s with timeslips. What low 13 second cars have you been behind the wheel of? If you werent 3000 miles away i would definitly race my pretty much stock mach1 vs. your built gsr. You would find that i give way more respect to import owners then most domestic owners as well.

My first car was a candy apple red '69 Chevelle SS 396 w/ a TH350 trans and a 12-bolt posi w/ 3.73 rear. I was spoiled rotten. After I sold it(like 2 years ago), my dad got a great deal on a '69 Camaro RS/SS 396 w/ M-21(close ratio Muncie). The Chevelle was probably high 13's and the camaro ran low 13's every pass, and always trapped 100+ mph. Alas, we dont own either car anymore, due to gas prices. I have also driven a c5 Z06 which is probably high 12's not low 13's.

I know what speed(not the amphetamine) feels like. When my little brother's friend let me behind the wheel of the Mach 1, I was impressed, to say the least. The car was very torquey plus I liked the way the car felt at high rpm's. We played around on the interstate(vs the GSR) one time and that Mustang was going NOWHERE from the roll. From the dig it could be another story....but considering the kid has no idea how to launch RWD cars might give me an edge. Can you belive that? A N/A 4 putting the heat on a factory modded 8? The Mach 1 is still the nicer car......$$$$ is everything.

[nastyNater]

the GSR is not a low 13 scond car either....i know that for a fact.

Maybe on a steep hill?

You'd be surprised how fast a car can be on a hill.>_>
