2008 Accord LX-S

Warning: uninteresting, bare basics race story-

Roommate and I have been wanting to race for a while so tonight we did. Id say my car is at 80-90% at the moment, but when he jumped on me at 40, I reeled him in by the middle of third. We did a proper 40 punch after that and I had two cars on him by the end of second. From a dig to the top of third, I had at least a couple buslengths on him.

The weight KILLS those cars, cuz Id bet money its putting down at least as much power as mine right now.

Oh yeah, the LX-S comes with the 190hp K24 from the EX. I didnt race a v6. A J35 Accord would have walked me as bad as I walked him.

Auto or manual? And yes, they are fairly heavy. An auto V6 probably would have walked you. A manual would most likely have KILLED you. They are much more powerful than the auto V6, and have a lot better gearing.

And JESUS! STOP CHANGING YOUR NAME! It is like you are running from the law or something...

Auto, but most of the four banger guys have been saying the gearing is so close, theres hardly a difference between the two.

Ya know, besides the whole torque converter sapping 5% or more power...

That would amount to less than 10WHP, the time of which could EASILY be lost during the shifts on a manual tranny.

It still plays a role, and you cannot just dismiss it.

Yes, it does play a role.

Such a small one that a slow shift in a manual tranny car could easily make up the difference.

Who shifts slow in a manual when they're racing though? You just can't bang gears in an auto like you can in a manual

I dare you to shift faster than a practically brand new QUALITY automatic.
