Hey,
A friend of mine at school who is 16 recieved a 2003 Honda Accord from his parents (spoiled bastard). He has the 4 cyclinder version with a manual transmission. Nearly everyday at school he brags that "his" car is so fast and that it can do 0-60 in 6 seconds

. BTW the car is stock.

Can you guys set the record straight as to what the real performance is for this entry level car?

The 6 cylinder is about 0-60 in 6.6 seconds. I doubt if you're gonna see below 7.5 seconds for a 4-banger Accord regardless of whether it's an auto or manual. You'd probably be lucky to hit 8.0 seconds

too late.
lol

and he's about right on that. the 4cyl aint anything to write home about, but i'm sure its decently fun/peppy. just my plain ol' lancer has plenty of pep (although you can feel none of it since its so cushiony)
 
Slow. So, are you gonna show him up tomorrow by letting him know that some random people on the internet told you that he's wrong?

LMAO 😛

You got to remember, that if he's 16, his gear changing probably won't be the most efficient unless he's been practicing a lot, even then, not as good as a more experienced driver.

PCMarine, I'd reccomend just keeping low unless he says something directly to you and tell him the exact time then.

Nah, just wait until someone calls his bluff on it and schools him in a blur of tiresmoke and double-clutching. 😀

Don't forget the pics/video.

I swear, NFS4's response was *not* there when I typed that. :Q

Maybe he's read a Canadian magazine and he's looking at 0-60 km/h 😀

LoL
I think he may be talking about his 0-60 foot times at the track. Hahahahaha

What does doofus base that on? Him counting to 6 while he waits for his car to reach 60 while he
scrambles awkwardly through the gears?

lol thanks for the info guys.

Yeah I'll just continue to roll my eyes at the guy. It's rather pathetic that he's bragging about a car that mommey and daddy bought him which he doesn't deserve.
