No way.. If it's an I4 with an auto you definitely would take it.. I drove a 2003 with the 5-speed manual and it was slow, couldn't imagine how slow it would be with the auto.

I had an '04 Accord with an auto and I4, that car will own a 7thgen in top end, the tranny makes really good use of the torque when at higher speeds and has a REALLY good drag coeffecient. From say 0-50 it will be close, but above say 60-70, I'll say the Accord will walk.

beat an 05 model from 5-60 by one car lenght. pretty sure it was an automatic. i also had the last model of auto v6 accord until about 55mph. i think you could take the 4 cylinder accord. auto v6's will beat u at about 55mph, same thing happened against a rice alero at the track, got him of the start to about 1/8 and he beat me by about .8

also beat some 4 cylinder camry auto before. fun races.
