smoked an accord

i was on hwy 280 and this 98 accord comes up next to em and starts checking out my ride, then he zooms past me like hes the sh it so i was like hellllllll naw...and i passed him so fast, and i could tell he was flooring it cuz i could hear that his engine screaming, i ended up getting him by 1 or 2 car lengths, but we got a red light and went again, that car aint got nothing off of the line, but it picks back up and then i came around him in about 1 sec and he was like smiling and he signaled me into the walmart parking lot where we exchanged info and that was stock...he sed that engine was 170hp, but i dont think so, does n e one know what it is?

What's under your hood? Stock? Manual? Yeah 170 sounds about right for an accord

all i have is a sri and exhaust, he had nothing, and no it didnt have dual exhaust, so it wasnt a V6, and no it wasnt a coupe...it was just a 98 4cyl, and i think that engine is only 140-50 HP...

well what accord does he have?...what has he done to it

if its a v6 then no way
an accord ex 4 cylinder is pretty heavy...but the h2.3 has got a lot of torque and with a 5spd will move
the lx accord is a little quicker b/c of the less options
the dx accord only makes 135hp (detuned h2.3)

also depends on his wheels...if he's got big 19's then it'll slow his car

The accord 4 bangars have around 150hp and any 4 cylinder model can be had with a manual. I used to have 00 accord ex-vl that had 200hp. I think a 4 accord and the civic would be a great race. Having had the v6 accord, I can tell you the civic would look like it was going backwards.

Umm yah Honda makes a DX Accord, they also have a manual in the DX, LX, and EX. The only accords that you cannot get a manual in is the VP(value package) which is basically a DX with an auto and A/C and the SE (special edition)
