Accord VS. Civic?

[pbateson]

Do you think Honda Accord are faster than Honda Civic?

[Zero_Bubble]

Depends. Most ACCORDS have the transverse V-6 VTEC engines while most CIVICS have the transverse V-4 VTEC engines. However, ACCORDs are heavier cars than the CIVICs. In general, I believe that the ACCORDs with V-6 engines will beat the CIVICs with V-4 engines in a 1/4 mile.

Best kept secret    :)

A pre 1996 Nissan Sentra SER.. (known as a 200SX in 1995)

2.0L 160 hp

If you can still find one that hasn't been "abused", it was the quickest non-turbo, 4cyl,  available anywhere !

Eats BMW's and snacks on Hondas and Toyotas  ;)

I'd say the v6 accord.  stock.  now a civic with an acura gsr motor is another story.  Acura RSX type S will smoke them both.
