if your 400 is stock, don't mess with the v6 accord with a 6 speed MT. It will walk all over you. Come back when you do a bfi, w58 swap, full exhaust + headers and make sure you have nothing in the trunk, it will now be a race. but seriously, the 400 is still a boat even if you do all those mods, unless you go FI. Most performance cars nowadays come out of the factory at 300hp stock.

Its sort of true , I got smoked at the lights by a pontiac grand am a while back.

Nonetheless the Sc is a much better car than any honda even those s2000 go carts.

Turn the damn ECT to power and the overdrive off and race that Accord. You'll either cry and lose or win and shut him up.

My personal opinion is that you'll show him if the run is decently long. Remember we do have RWD and a big torque engine.

I've had a S2000 and my Sc400 does have more bottom end grunt for sure and would very well outrun a S2k on highway speeds imo. Idk about Accord V6 but they're heavy for sure and the V6 isn't gonna be the most powerful thing around either.

From what i gather its like 200hp lol

your friend sounds really immature. maybe he should consider how much money he spent on his car and how much you did. if you even put a little bit of money into your car you could take him. not like you guys should be racing anyways. plus, guaranteed ladies like your car much more then the accord. i personally cant stand some of the honda fan boys. in my community 90% of the honda cars sound like bee hives with wheels. i cant stand them some days. they talk and act like they own ferraris. +1 for not having enough friends that give a rats *** about cars

all you have to do is take him through the bullet points.

supra chassis

RWD

the fact that he paid a lot more for his car than you did for yours.

if the difference was used in upgrades he wouldnt stand a chance. you could probably do a pretty good 1jz swap for the difference...

then for added ownage bring up the original price for both cars. and if you want to make him feel a little better you can even add options on to the accords price.
