wrong. Show my any accord that runs in the 12's with nos. No other work. No suspension, no slicks, nothing, You have no clue. They are all 16 second cars at best. I see all the crap boxes at Atco that run every weekend.. All the kids sweat their accords run in the 12's and can't crack the 15's.
Speaking of having no clue, "they are all 16-second cars at best?" A stock V6 Accord with a manual runs 0-60 in the upper 5s and the 1/4 in the low 14s. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it would take too much work to lop just over a second off that time.

I know for a fact that V6 Altima's can run 13's with very little work. I know this because one embarrassed me in my G35 when I first got it a few years back. My car is in the 13's too (modded a bit since I go it) but those darn Altima's aren't slow. They aren't race cars but definitely have more than enough oomph to have some fun off the track where the majority of most people's driving is done. I decided to avoid going FI on my G35 and just invest in suspension which is exactly what I've done.
I always find it funny when they talk about a street race and then list the cars as an Accord and an Altima...yeah, there's a real race for ya.
LOL.. Funny you say that, most people acting like buffons on the road don't really drive fast cars. Always a riced out family sedan (import and domestic, with "performance" parts (read stickers and LED lights) from Autozone of all places.

Not sure. IF we're talking V6, I say the Altima would win...

I don't see these types of "races" as being between enthusiasts, more about "appendage length" contests between some dumb kids with too much time on their hands. Putting these kind of people into the bucket with "enthusiasts/racers" gives them way more credit and legitimacy than they deserve.
So true. Repped you on it.

These burgers can be decent, depending on how hungry you are.

I always do. You guys should drive in Miami once in your lives, and see what I'm talking about. Some of you might not make it back on that plane home.

nope your wrong. I live it every weekend.. v6 accords are lucky to get into the 15's stock.. With a GOOD driver.. most kids run 16's with em at the strip.. See it every weekend..

nope,. again.. You guys are reading C&D too much lol. Real world numbers ain't what the rags say.. I have never seen any Altima near stock get anywhere near those numbers in the real world.. Show me your timeslip.. Scan it here.. On the internet, everyone has 12 second cars.. Prove it..

Since you don't believe the multiple car mags that have done instrument test on the car then why don't you go test drive a V6 Altima for yourself because I doubt you'd believe anyone here unless you do it for yourself.

I think I can kinda agree with him on this one. 12 seconds...... come on guys 12 seconds is real damn fast. A stock Z06 runs 11's and a LS1 SS can run in the low 12's. You are gonna need a lot of Nos and or PSI in a turbo to get close to those numbers. I agree, everyone has 12 second cars and if you ask on a certain day it would be 10's. Lets get real here! It seems all these tuner guys have something to prove. The really fast guys don't feel the need to show off and brag about how fast their car isn't!

Nope, I'm not wrong. 0-60 in the 5.8 range and 1/4 around 14.2 is not only possible, but has been done repeatedly. Those are not "ringer" numbers. The V6 Accord has serious guts. So does the V6 Altima for that matter.
