Can a stock 1998 V6 Accord take a stock 1998 Maxima GLE(auto)???!!

I personally think that the Maxima will blow the doors off the Accord, but what do you guys think?
Thanks for any replies

yes, if you do it from roll start. off line maxima will get you, it has whole lot more low end torque then accord.


BTW, I’m not in any way encouraging street racing. Racing should take place only at race tracks.

Does the accord stand any chance if it was from a standstill??

[HONDA_99]

assuming conditions are same for both cars, maxima will take accord off line and will win race.

Actually, it could b a drivers race if the Maxima is an automatic. The maxima has 190hp and 205 ft. lbs' of torque

you meant to say Accord is 200lbs heavier, did you?

Actually Honda_99 is right. The maxima weighs 3085 lbs while the Accord weighs 3241 lbs. And the peak hosepower rating is worthless, its the torque curve is what really matters, and to my uderstanding the maxima torque curve is almost flat all the way to the redline.

[HONDA_99]

actually torque curve for maxima drops like rock after 5500RPM, but Accord's at peak. that's why i said, from roll accord will take maxima, but from stop maxima will get enough ground so accord will not be able to make up by end of 1/4ml.

fuckin race it and find out dumbasses

Oops...the Accord is heavier. But from a roll the Accord should take it. As previously stated though, from a dig, the Accord would get owned
