      +matthew von the accord has 4 models before it even hits 27,000 where the camaro basically starts off at 27,000 with a 4 liter engine they actually cost around the same in the 3.5-3.6L v6 area which is 32,000 but the camaro has more hp rwd in the v6 and has a more aggressive look to it which is why someone might buy it over the accord. The base camaro v6 is 27,000 but the accord is more luxery then sport. thats where the cost difference is. plus the aggressive look is what sells the car

      I've bested every kind of mustang (naturally aspirated mind you) That isn't the 2012+ 5.0 at least once. 2005 back have never bested me cept one v8. He gapped my ass hard. Pretty sure he races a lot and props to him lol.
      I beat every 4 banger too (cept wrxs. holy shit they're fast). Type R's are not easy to beat either. If you letm they'll end up getting you top end so you need to gap them as much as possible before you leave 3rd gear.
      old school v8 guys have no idea how slow they really are (when stock lol). I have a 08 v6 auto accord sedan with only 3rd cat, small resonator and mufflers deleted and i gap them. Sometimes its a fight but usually i win by half a car at least.
      Oh and dont race vettes in your v6. Doesn't matter the year for some reason these cars always ALWAYS win by a car or two. (dream car is a c5 or c6 zr1

      It takes experience to be able to push a FWD to it's peak level of handling/performance, that's what makes it fun! Merely having all the most "preferable" car specs/mods doesn't make a person a better driver. Too many people jump to that conclusion without maximizing their potential with what they already have.

    I really just wish it was all wheel or rear, honestly it would be a perfect car. It's more luxurious than the genesis and mustang or 350 z and some how manages to put up great numbers despite being less powerful.

V6 awd tlx = TL. 4 cyl TLX with PAWS = TSX. that's how the cars are branded internally

    I currently drive a 2013 Honda Accord Sport sedan with the 6 spd manual and I love the way it handles for a sedan. I test drove the manual V6 coupe before I bought the sedan and I agree with that it was faster than I thought would be.
    I think the sedan in 'sport' trim is slightly better handling.

    I've owned this 2014 Accord LX model since new. It's a really good vehicle. I
    do have a serious safety issue with how the cruise control works though. It
    does not disengage when downshifting unless you touch the brakes or the
    cancel button. I've been driving cars for over 55 years and this is the first one
    where depressing the clutch pedal does not disengage the cruise.
    Q: Why would the engineers make it like this?

      +DragonXrulez I was stuck between a v6 6MT coupe and a 2011 Civic Si.
      Only thing I didn't like about the accord was how big it felt. Didn't feel near nimble enough and it was a little bit too luxurious for me. Looks, sounds and drives great. Very happy with my 2011 Civic Si Sedan

      @@DripGxd_Cam I forgot the weight for the 8th at this point. maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe I could be a little confused based on timing of memory with the cars. But I do know that I consistently feel in my 9th that the acceleration seems to redline faster. If I had to guess, I'd say that maybe they changed the gear ratios between them. I've also reached a top speed of about 153 in my 8th while in my 9th 164. They are absolutely very on point with each other. I only had my 8th for about 2 years while i've had my 9th for 6 now.

    I own an 08 v6 accord sedan. I've named it Rommel. Very fun to drive, gas mileage in the city isn't fantastic but none the less its great on the highway.
    120k miles and still rides smoother then everything ive road in cept Cadillac. And you can race it stock and have fun
    If a modern v8 pulls up on you don't even think about it cause they weight the same and have a ton and a half more torque and hp then you but most v6s, almost all 4 bangers and most oldschool v8s you can best if you drive correctly.
    Note, this is for stock on stock racing. Dont wanna hear about your 2002 v6 twin spooly snailed mustang or your supercharged LS- no naturally aspirated v6 can beat a spooly snailed or supercharged v8 or v6...
    Now a 4 banger with a spooly snail or supercharger? that sounds like a fun race haha. Only lost to a type r, and almost all the WRX's ive raced. WRX's usually get me after 2nd- that turbo kicks in and offpphh. Kinda like ECO boost stangs, cept ive never raced someone in one who had any skill cause ive always won...
