Boring and slow.
Um, no.So what, any car can burn rubber.
^ this.I'm afraid some of our members on here a just a little bit confused as to were the 9th gen accord falls at exactly. It may be a lot of things, but fast is not one of them.
Not new any more. 2013 with 30,000 miles. I'm in NYC. A few runs at the strip are nothing compared to what I face on a monthly basis hereDo all the burnouts you want on the drag strip, that's what it's for. But my question is, why stress out the engine and transmission on a new accord?
Why not? These things aren't made out of papiermache.But my question is, why stress out the engine and transmission on a new accord?
You aint hurting one by doing something you enjoy. Its your money you can do as you please. Let em rip!I'm learning more and more from you guys each day. Apparently only the immature do burnouts and go to racetracks.
Hmm.
HOW DARE YOU!
I have behaved very poorly and I must be punished for my actions.HOW DARE YOU!
How dare you do whatever you want to do with your tires and your car and on a drag strip away from road hazards and omg the fuel! Dont you know this is a car to go from A to B! I mean, really man! Where is the sense! Dont you know cars are just for you to sit back in and go places! How dare you have a smile on your face when you shift from 1st to 2nd! How dare you be happy with you downshift for a turn!
Shame on you!
You should be ashamed that you bought an accord and enjoy it! You should go ask forgiveness at the local Acura dealer! Why?! because SH-AWD i dont know! And dont even think about telling your friends about your new mods!
I am disgusted with you!
Now go put on some beethoven, color your hair grey and drive 20 below the speed limit just so you dont even come close to give the impression that you might enjoy the car you bought!
God forbid the people at Honda ever find out. They will be mortified!
Ok, thats about as much I can come up with. But I think thats a pretty colorful picture.
Exactly, a 14 sec 1/4 time WAS (past tense) considered fast, but now it's not. If I'm trying to make a case for an accord not being "boring" I'm certainly not going to try and justify this by showing a video of a burnout or a trip down the track. I would talk about other features of the car instead. Just accept the car for what it is, a 4 door v6 sedan that runs high 13's / low 14's.Scarlett,
You are right about a burnout being nothing compared to driving around NYC.... I am dating myself (sshhhh...):smile, but I remember when a high 13, low 14 second quarter mile was considered fast, and that was during the muscle car era of the late 60's, early 70's. The fact that my boring commuter car can do a 14 second quarter mile is amazing, at least to me. I had friends who owned Plymouth GTX's or six-pack 440 RoadRunners who would kill for a high 13, at the track..
