96 GSR vs. 95 Accord EX V6

[96GSR]

my friend has a 95 accord ex v6, i think its got 170 horse power, which is the same as my 96 integra gsr. mines manual, his is stick. how much should i expect to beat him by. he wants to drag and race me on this windy ass road. kinda funny isn't it.

What's the difference between manual and stick?

Since he has a GS-R, he must have a stick [manual]. Im guessing he meant his friends accord is an automatic.. ?

[96GSR]

sorry i meant his is automatic

Yeah well u'll definitely beat him....not sure by how much...but the power to weight ratio plus the auto. vs stick both of these factors are in ur favor.

unless of course u don't know how to drive a stick very well. then the favors toward the accord

[99teggyGSR]

the accord-V6 will beat the gsr of course...just because you have the manual doesn't always mean your more likely to win...your only advantage is faster shifting... he just sits back and relax while gasing it.. and you said you guys have around the same amount of power... one thing you don't know is your integra is lower on torque than the accord... he's pushing iono 143lbs/ft of torque... just out of my head.. while your teggy just pushing 128..you'll reach a certain amount where you'll have hard time picking up speed and he's still pushin more power than you..trust me i've been there

...no the accord has about 200HP or somewhere around there..with like 150 Torque (probally higher)....but u a "sporter VTEC Motor" stick, and weight...I say "GSR Long and short run's"

[svang8]

the 96 accords are hella weak unless they ueses nitrous..i go for you gsr..the only accords you don't really want to mess with are the 98 accord v6 throught the brand new ones that are v6..otherwise all the other accords are weak...the 95 doesn't have 200 they got like 170 and the 98 accord v6 has 200 and the 2004 accord v6 has 220...

[SBallerk2]

yeah u guys R right...94-97 V6 accord 170HP 165 Torque

98-02 V6 accord 200HP 195 Torque

03-up v6 accord 240HP 212 Torque

no they don't...you can ask anyone i mean anyone here...they don't have 140 ftlb torque...they have around 128 only..gsr's are low on torque...just like the civic si..they ahve the horsepower but not enough torque...you must have mistaken it for the rsx where they have 140 something ftlbs of torque

Your car should handle better on a windy road assuming you both are stock.

People here seem to do more hypothetical races than actually racing on the road. Race and then tell us who is faster

[gsr916]

yea sorry GSR's have always been faster than accords. Accords are too heavy. thats why honda gave them a v6, because a 4 banger wouldnt even hang with a neon.

i check some 1/4 miles times between these two and the gsr should beat the accord by about half a sec or so.
