I was talking to a guy in my physics class he told me he had an Accord Coupe. He asked what I had and I answered.
He proceeded to call my car "crap" and told me that he would chew me up and spit me out. :rolleye2: Keep in mind that his Accord is a I4 auto with big 18"s and a V6 exhaust. I am modded with a 2.5" exhaust and an intake.
Does any one have any performance numbers on this configuration? How much do you think I can beat him by? Thanks.

I ran an SVT Contour about 5 times in a row up to 120 mph, and every single time i beat hi by about 4-5 cars. On the 6th run he burned his clutch out with an overrev. I felt sorry for the guy. This was in from a stand still each time and he had a manual.

what an idiot. his car would be lucky to run in the 17's on a good day. You could probably hit 14's in your car with the mods, since CSVT's run about low-15's stock IIRC.
More Accord owners giving a bad rep to the mor respectful Accord owners. Run him down, heck even give him a car car lengths headstart just to make it more fair

Does anyone else have a hard time buying this based on the numbers a CSVT can put up? Unless he couldn't drive or his clutch was not the outs..... Unless you have significant mods, auto AV6s are running mid 15's and CSVTs are running low 15's stock....... Anything can happen in a street race I suppose but 4-5 cars? I don't even know if you would put that on a regular Contour V6.......

The SVT driver burn't out the clutch, so he must not have been that great of a driver. I know there are SVT drivers running low 15's with some hitting high 14's, but 15.3-15.5@91-92mph seems to be more of the norm for those guys as its tricky to launch those cars.
On a drag strip, reaction time isn't considered in your ET's though, but your ET doesn't tell the whole story about who gets to the finish line first. You can be running 15.5's all day and still beat the guy next to you to the finish who ran 15.3's all day. The same can apply for a street race.

That is nothing comparing to what I did to Ferrari other day.
We were standing at traffic light and as soon light turned green I nailed. I looked in mirror to see how that Ferrari turns into small dot.
BTW, we were going in opposite directions. :smash:
i once posted a race vs SVT contours once here in v6p with my ex-av6....
I got beat by around 1 car? by end of 2nd gear, and was pulling in 3rd, but no chance, (got busted by cop)....
they are pretty fast... don't underestimate them. and yes, their dual tip looks very nice.
