There are no Hondas worth investing money into. They are not high performance vehicles, period. The NSX got it's ass whooped by the C4 ZR1 for less money, the Integra Type R was nothing more than a ricer's wet dream, and the S2000 was a joke of a "sport car" that got beat on by stock F-Bodies and Mustangs. With the amount of problems that Honda vehicles have combined with the cost to maintain and repair them, they aren't good for anything.
I'm a huge fan of V8's and RWD, but I can respect what a lot of these tuners have done with the displacement they have. It's not my cup of tea, I'd never drive one, but props.

A fast car is a fast car. I don't understand the outright hate. Just because you don't prefer something doesn't mean you have to hate on it.

FordTechOne seems rather partial to Ford. :ford:


Car and Driver likes the Honda Accord, at least tested as v4 / manual. I am sure they would like v6 / manual even better. Too bad Honda doesn't offer that in a sedan format and sell it for $25

4.5 star
6-speed manual
DOHC 16-valve inline-4

Honda also gets a lot of top scores by IIHS crash tests, so there is a lot to like about it

not worried about an ecoboost? :shrug: What car makes you worry about theft?

what's the engine specs for your car?
I just figured that Ecoboost parts wouldn't be stolen to be put on a V6/GT since those are issues I run into with my car. I drive a Type-R which has parts that can fit on any 97-2001 Integra and 92-00 Civics as well.

Mine is swapped with a 2.4L n/a motor.

Also, one more thing, that pic of that Integra at the track reminds me of one time I went to Moroso in palm beach for an outlaw night (no clocks, run anything) and there were only 2 imports among a sea of monstrous boosted domestics spraying more nitrous than old faithful does water. It was a blue (I assume turbo'd) Integra with a fmic and no front bumber. Dude got up to the line, launched it hard and broke down about 5ft later.. Lol. They had to push the car off the track and the entire crowd (was pretty crowded that night) laughed out loud.. it was pretty damn comical but I still felt bad for the dude Lol.
Yea we went to a test and tune over at Sonoma Raceway and there were two imports. Us and a CRX that broke at the line and spilled some fluids. We pulled in after them and didn't get a good launch due to the fluids and just cruised down the 1/4 to save it for the next pass. All the domestic guys got a good laugh out of that. Next time up hit a 9sec pass and that caught their attention and many of them came by to see the little Civic that could!

Understandable that guys will love the Domestics since this is a Mustang forum! Really liking the look of this generation!

V6 / GT is more likely to be stolen for parts? Maybe you could buy a GT, and remove the 5.0 emblem. Maybe get the EB wheels just for good measure :thumbsup:

You could get a LoJack

I wish I got here sooner to tell people how stupid they are for thinking a modded honda couldn't beat a stock v8. This isn't a drivers race...

Whatever you're on please do share. Not ever has Honda's intentions has it been to have your foot to the floor and go fast in a straight line. The vehicles mentioned have all been made for corner carving and canyon cruising. Just because they don't fit your needs it doesn't make it any less of a car.
All of the vehicles I've mentioned beat the Honda vehicles in a straight line, corner carving, and canyon cruising. You have no point.

:lol:This guy is a piece of work. As I've said before I've mostly owned American sports/muscle cars for the past 26 years, and I've driven and been in countless vehicles. My previous 2008 Accord V6, and my GF's 2015 Accord Sport are both very nice cars for the money. The build quality, materials, the way the doors shut, etc is great. It's very comfy, very roomy, has great visibility, has plenty of power for normal driving. Is great in the snow, and handles and corners surprisngly well, including @ 80mph+ on sweepers on the highway. At 32k miles so far it's been perfectly reliable and gets great mpg. I expect the car can go 200k miles or more with basic maintenance, no problem. There is a reason the Accord is so popular and award winning.
The only "piece of work" here is you and your comical post. The points you mentioned are the bare minimum for a vehicle these days. A Honda Accord is just like a Camry; it's a boring appliance that is good for absolutely nothing. And no, Honda Accords are not "good in the snow". That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. You also can't take "sweepers" at 80MPH in any Honda; you only lying to yourself to try and justify your purchase of a worthless vehicle. I'm sure your fellow Americans will thank you for sending your money to Japan instead of buying the better vehicle from an American company.

If you think Accords can go 200K or more, you're on drugs. Honda has the worst transmissions in the entire automotive industry, and they've been that way for the past 15 years. When the New York Times notices a trend and publishes an article about how bad Honda transmissions are, you know they are garbage. The majority of Honda models don't make it past 75K miles without transmission issues:

http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/08/honda-transmission-problems-seem-to-persist/

Have fun when those Takata airbags blow up in your face and mangle and/or kill you. They are ALL defective, and Honda knew about it since 2004. They covered up the defect for over 10 years, and now they are are simply recalling the bare minimum to make the feds happy. Even the brand new models (like your 2015) have Takata ammonium nitrate inflators. The fact that you are okay putting your family in a vehicle like that and supporting a scumbag company like Honda says a lot about your character; you obviously just don't care.

They are not on the recall list, so apparently they must have changed something before being used in the S550 Mustangs.

I have yet to see an older Mustang beat a Miata through a canyon, or corner oriented track let alone an S2000, speaking stock here.

I wasn't referring to his Mustang; I was referring to his 2015 Honda Accord ;)

Wait. A Volt is faster than our cars. And that stupid little BMW I-3. Who cares. There will always be faster cars.

The real question is why are you so mad? prefer mustangs all you want, just like most of us here probably do, but why do you have to be one of those guys who hate everything that isn't a ford? I bet if I asked you you'd tell me how garbage bimmers and porsches are too.

An SVT Cobra or Mach 1 will destroy either of the cars you mention through a canyon or on a track. I've done multiple track days with my '04, the Miatas are nothing more than annoyances that get lapped by every other car. The S2000 doesn't fare much better, they can't come close to running with real cars on a road course. The only thing S2000 drivers end up doing is leaving their arm out the window to signal everyone else to pass by.

I bet you'd be wrong. Porsche builds some of the best performing and best driving cars in the world. I'm not a huge BMW fan, but they deserve respect for a lot of the products that they build as well.

I suppose nobody ever told you what assuming does.
