Wow, that's insane! Were you there?

[Sherman]

Nah, I wish Some of my friends went there, heard it was an awesome night.

[Nate10]

That's fucking ridiculous. Torque anyone?

Awww, isn't that cute.

See the real deal here, mid 11's @ 110 MPH (note B&W pic circa 1965, drive wheel left pavement) -

There was also a '69 Charger modified for the TV show "Dukes of Hazard" that ran the entire 1/4 mile w/ the nose in
the air.

Built by these guys (sorry, couldn't find pics).

Nice, especially since Honda S2000's (or any other Hondas, for that matter) aren't noted for superior low-end torque.

They enjoy being revved around 9000 RPM or so...

[Sherman]

That's the just AP1, which ran from 2000 and a couple of years later til '03 or '04 (not positive which) but the torque is on up the line. My Accord redline is set at 6K right now, the torque really comes on about 4K RPMs, and no it's not VTAKKKK


I think it's just awesome seeing a car that was never meant for that -- doing it, haha.

Are you speaking slow in driving or slow in the head? They are nice cars, so you aren't stupid for owning one. And our friend drives one and it definitely isn't slow...

[Super Hyphy]

Slow driving...and a friend of mine has an 08 and its slow as hell. A V6 Chrysler 300 blew it away...

[Spaz The Great]

Those just always seemed like they were suppose to go fast, to me.


But why must little kids get their panties in a wad because a car that is suppose to be efficient and nice to drive doesn't go super fast? There's more to cars than speed, child. Maybe when your balls drop, you get your license, and have to pay your own gas, you'll understand why someone would want to drive a car like an Accord.

[Sherman]

Eh, yeah. It's a daily driver that gets me from A - B without worrying about anything. Idc how fast it goes really I can't afford the gas or tickets anyway.

[Super Hyphy]

Thank you spaz. Honda Accord aren't made for speed. We get it. What are you going to say next? "Ferraris are fast!"?

[Spaz The Great]

I must point out how you were the first one to say it. I only defended the Accord as a nice car.

Hypocrisy at it's best.

I feel bad your dad didn't pull out when he had the chance...
