We go to our spot and had a flagger so we launched. I left traction control on.
3,2,1, go I got a nearly perfect launch with only 2 or 3 chirps through 1st gear. He pretty much spun through all of first so I jumped ahead by almost a car. I hit 2nd gear and he's inching up on me he hits 2nd and chirps (again) and starts reeling me in. I slam it up into 3rd and he basically just starts walking past me, at the top of 3rd he's 1 car ahead. I slam it into 4th and he continues to get away from me by about 110mph or the top of 4th he's a good 2 cars ahead of me.
I shut it down.
that coupe's curb weight is about 3500lbs but even though I had a passenger, he was a slim guy and didn't weigh more than 180lbs. Basically I got slaughtered!
I might race him again after I get an exhaust but damn a stock accord can really give it to you if you. Don't underestimate the 3.5L in the accords, I think the VQ has met its match, the top end on that motor kicks ass, that motor is definitely underrated. And to think all that on regular!

thats why i run 93 octane and 93 octane only.
its either you cant drive, or the fuel was holding you back, because ive ran a 6mt V6 accord coupe on the hwy and i was putting lengths on him, so i dont know. maybe something is wrong with your car because that accord is not supposed to put 2 cars on you, unless you had a full tank, and you had over 400lbs excess weight in your car.
