2007 CTD vs 2003 V6 Accord
Alright, not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I have a friend that believes a 2003 V6 Accord will beat my stock 2007 CTD in a drag. Any thoughts?
I think if I 4x4 launch I can take it.....

I think u will get your butt handed too you.
This is not a machine built for speed.
I've driven a few accords and they seemed to have quite a bit of punch off the line..
Try it and see what happens.....
Let us know, take some pics

We will wait until it is warmer and dryer outside... so spring time probably... just wanted to get some thoughts.. maybe by then I will at least have an intake on mine...
Obviously CTD's aren't built for speed stock, but I thought it would be fun anyway....

The V-6 Accord will be slightly slower than my 2003 Acura 3.2TL-S. Published data for the Acura shows a stock quarter mile time of around 14.7 to 14.8 seconds @ 100 MPH with a 145 (Car and Driver) to 150 (Road & Track) MPH top speed.

Were I the Accord owner, I would pick a road with some curves in it just to make things interesting.

Invite the Accord onto a gravel road . No chance for the Accord. Take of controlled and you are behind. Take off full bore and you spin out. CTD in 4x4 will launch like a rocket.

remember that those 1/4 mile times for that acura from road & track and car and driver magazines were acomplished by their drivers. many times manufactures let those magazine drag drivers test their cars before they release them due to the fact that the magazine drivers can usually post faster times than most anyone else. a v-6 accord will spin a front tire very easily, so if this guy isn't that hot a driver, and his car is a manual (which i doubt) you might have a chance. that being said, i used to have a acura legend coupe with which i bested several diesel trucks.

If it's a V-6 6-speed accord, which it probably is if he's challanging you to a race, it's quite the sleeper of a car. 5-double spoke 17" rims, a red insert V-6 badge, the six-speed stick and some carbon fiber trim are all the "visable" changes...but 240bhp and 5.6 second 0-60 (stock) if he can handle the abrupt, edgy clutch smoothly. Actually quite the nice all-around car. Not really a drag racer, but far quicker than most people realize, yet as calm and mild mannered as anyone could ask, save for the abrupt clutch action.

My wife had an automatic V-6 Accord 2004. I g-tech'ed it near as I remember it ran 14.9? at 92.? It's been a couple of years ago. don't remember exactly, but should be pretty close.

I used to have an 05 magnum rt.
As far as the accord goes if your stock I think you'll get your butt handed to you.
