[ti's 92 accord]

[cpl hero]

What cut are the rides, EX, LX, or DX. Cause I spanked a LX civ pretty bad before.

Indeed.

[HondaB18]

99.9% sure on the 96 Civic since its not stock and who knows whats in that car.

[accord junkie]

yup

if the 96 civic is also stock the 92 will beat it unless its the si model then they are pretty close.ive smoked a few civics from these years with my 90 ex/and my 92 lx.

[Dans92cb7]

i have a 96 civic hx with the y8 swap pretty fast but my 92 accord with cai and headers and exhaust is fast to from a 55 roll i can take alot of civics and some si's on the freeway...f22a6 motor is what i got in the car i pushed it past the 130 line never hit the rev limter yet....ill take a pix next time and post it...

[m-tec93accord]

i fucking swear, why do we hate civics so much yet we always are eyeing them to beat and prove ourselves?????

if i beat a civic on the track(AN ACTUAL TRACK, NOT 1320), then i'll go bananas(especially some gsr and k20 swaps)

but in a str8 line, come on........ why waste gas????

i think the appeal to prove ourselves against a civic is because its the more, how shall i say this, "mainstream" honda. The accord has taken its licks from import magazines, racers, and the overall scene in general. Dubbed the family grocery-getter its only a mentality as accord owners that makes us want to prove that the Accord is the clear choice in the entry-level Honda aspect and that even though Civics get more love from aftermarket manufacturers, the accord can hold its own in the face of an endless sea of civics at red-light encounters.

That said, with the emergence of the K and the J series motors, and the shift of Honda marketing the Accord to compete with mid-level sedans, I think the new generation of accord owners will find themselves out to prove their worth against more Maximas, G35 sedans, Camry's and the slew of domestic "muscle-sedans" whilst the civic goes on to try and keep it's niche in the entry level market. I believe we'll see alot less true Accord "tuners" in the immediate future unfortunately, unless the forth-coming 8th gens win over the hearts of those who havent already jumped onto the Nissan bandwagon (i'm talking of course about the new Altima which is making waves around here)

[deevergote]

The new Altima (and Maxima... the top of the line models of each are about the same power/weight wise) is very potent. Nissan is doing an amazing job keeping up with the current luxury/sport trends. You can buy a pure sports car, a pure VIP luxury car, a few obnoxiously large trucks, and anything in between. They have great support through Nismo for quality aftermarket (and factory tuned).

Honda isn't focusing on the tuner market... but they should. They should make their cars tuner friendly, with plenty of power and class out of the box. Even the non-tuners seem to be influenced by the tuner mentality, and want a car that looks "custom". The horsepower wars are on, so underpowered and efficient doesn't cut it anymore. Efficiency is assumed on a Japanese car, and they're managing to make considerable power without sacrificing efficiency!



That being said... and going back to the original topic...

Bench racing is stupid. In the official racing forum here, it's actually not even allowed. If you want to find out who will win, go race. For a good estimate, consider the power to weight of each car. The car that makes the most hp per pound has the better advantage (though transmission gearing, tires, and driver ability are large factors. Driver weight, too, if it's a considerable difference. Accord R33 would be faster in my car than I would be, if our skills were even. He's a good deal lighter than I am!)

Yup...( nothing like finding out )

Soooo.... ti's92Accord......................

















FIND OUT! and get back with us!

NOTE: its also a DRIVER'S race!....not just trim or model and make....its a DRIVER'S race. I have seen some Y8s take out some CBs..UNFORTUNATELY..the drivers of the CBs DIDN'T know how to shift correctly...shifting too damn late ( over-rev ) or too early ( under rev )

so its all on the driver's skills!

[92cb7accord]

i used to own a 90 civic dx hatch about 50% gutted, DOHC ZC motor, I/H/E, and an SI tranny and that car kept up with my brothers 91 ex cb7 with the f22b1 with ex tranny until 3rd gear the accord started to pull on me.


ninja edit: and the accord is the on in my sig, which i own now.

[trah]

civic will win 1/4 but then on highway different story. I remember when I had my 99 SI Coupe with SOHC Vtec D18y8 (since my B16 threw a rod) had hard times pulling from 80 and on but eventually pulled away barely around 120 but the f22a6 i ran was modded as well intake header and exhaust while i was just STOCK. but in all, its a drivers race.

[whitejdmcb7]

i beat a 96 ex civic and those are single slam vtec then he got a crower cam and now stomps on me

[mondojackal]

if the 96 civic is also stock the 92 will beat it unless its the si model then they are pretty close.ive smoked a few civics from these years with my 90 ex/and my 92 lx.

what? surely you're joking..
a 96 Si is gonna spank all over a stock 92 accord. DOHC and 160hp. the Si will run right with a 6th gen AV6
