yes he is right
the ITR has around 130 ft so i doubt the GS-R has anywhere near 140

heres the true specs right off of edmunds.com...the integra has 170hp and 128 ft-lbs of torque...the accord has 170hp and 165 ft-lbs of torque...keep in mind the weights too...the accord weighs 3285 lbs and the integra weighs 2667 lbs if its the 2dr and only 2765 lbs if its the 4dr...so do with that info what you like...but no more argument about the facts...these are as straight as they come

First of all this thread is a year old. check the dates before replying, I realize that alot of you just saw it at the top of the page and replyed but at least one of you (99teggygsr) went digging and brought it out. DON"T DO THAT.


Anyway a gs-r with 170 hp and 128 ft/lbs will beat an automatic 1995 accord just about anyway you slice it. I don't care if it has 200hp and 140 something torque. it weighs alot more than an integra and it has a crappy automatic geared to haul the family around, while the gs-r has a manual geared for acceleration. a 1995 accord is not a sporty or fast car sorry.

the accord is automatic and has a heavy body compared to the integra, do do the weight by power ratio, the integra can definatlly take the accord.

Not sure how a GSR vs. a V6 accord goes, but to tell it straight, my friend has a 94 Teg LS (the 140hp, 126 torque manual) and I always beat him in my 96' Accord I4 (vtec version). He has a quicker start because of the weight, but as soon as the VTEC kicks in on the accord I start putting about 1-2 car lengths between him.

And as far as highway racing goes, he tops out sooner than the Accord. The LS Teg in 5th gear is already at 5k RPMS at 95 mph, where as the Accord is still at 3500 rpms in its 4th gear automatic. My Accord does not go into 4th gear until after 90 mph.

Screw 1/4 mile times...... Screw the HP...... Screw the torque..... Go BALLS to the wall, and just race him. Depending on the driver, a slower car can win. With that in mind, I wont say the GS-R will win, but if I were driving it, it would be no contest.

FYI, if you start to fall back, push harder in the curves.............fISH
