Exactly, that's a VERY general question. For some examples, the first V6 Accords that came out here in the US, the '96-'97 Sedans, were NOT fast, probably slower than a 5-speed 7th Gen. I had a 2002 V6 LX Coupe that was definitely faster than my '03 EX Vic, but it still wasn't that "fast". Now the '03 V6 6-speed coupes will run mid 14s bone stock, which is quite fast, compared to most of the Civics on this board. SO in other words, you will need to clarify.

the 03 is pretty quick, drives extremely well. My sisters roommate has a EX v6 coupe 6-speed. She let me drive it to the store one time and i loved it. Very good car, looks good to. I think the 0-60 is like 6-6.5 seconds or so. I was having fun at stop lights, since it is 6 speed and 220hp its fun!!!!

Engine code is the J30A4, to that engine, BTW. 1/4 times have been averaging low to mid 14s.

Actually 240hp, as rated by Honda, but close. In reality, dynos have shown the J30A4 to probably be putting out more like 250hp at the crank, and even more on premium. The latest Honda engines all appear to be underrated quite a bit. Except our D17s of course.

NICE!! thats why 4th felt so good. It really is a nice car though and with 250hp at the crank thats not bad for a girl whos like 5'4 and 120pds drivng it, shes fine too. I'll have to go see my sister a little more often....

(no offense at all to the ladies driving fast cars, by the way my numbers...)

Damn thats some good crack u are smoking....unless u are talking about all the entry line vechiles. Cause a 330 will rock a v6 accord as well as the audi 3.0v6 and older 2.7 v6 may loose the a newer accord but it would be tight. The top of the line a4's (non-i4's) and Bmw 330 would really have a field day on an accord

no thats not true , my uncle had a v6 6th gen coupe, and he had a field day on an auto 330ci, so i think it would be a pretty even match, and the 7th gen would tear it a new a-hole

My friend has a 00 V6 EX with leather. He claims that the guys from his forum claim to run low 15s. Yet I raced him several times, and I get the better start and I win up until about 80 mph. Then he pulls. But I figure, since my trap speeds are around 80 mph, I figure that our 1/4 mile times are about the same, or very close. Now, the new ones, I know better than to mess with them.

so the accord is slower 0-60, but don't forget that the 330s are RWD and the accord is FWD. since those 2 cars are really close in a 1/4 mile, i think from a roll the accord (new 6 speed coupe) would be the faster car
