I4 vs V6 6th Gen?
#2
Because of power to weight, an I4 manual would accelerate quicker (not sure about auto), but the V6 would beat it on top. This is from a dead stop. On the highway the V6 has way more power.

4-6
I agree, My old 99 EX 4cyl can take off from a stoplight faster than my 02 EX V6 and the 4cyl seems easier to toss around on curvy backroads and I can take sharp right hand turns with more speed and control than with the V6, but the V6 does get a smoother and quieter ride all around than the 4. The V6 does have a lot more power on the highway for passing. Before anyone asks, both cars are still fully stock as far as performance/Suspension Mods go and they both have the exact same tires that are both set at the same psi. I guess it's probably the extra weight that the V6 has,

I wondered about that, too. The 2001 V6 had 200 h.p./195 torque vs. the present I-4 with 160/160, so it should be faster, right? I've ridden in both, and the V6 seemed to pull better. I searched and found some interesting results; sources cited below info. (I did not handpick the info. I posted the first three sources I found.)

I was actually suprised at the stats. I figured there would be a more appreciable difference. However, I suspect that the V6 would be superior at higher (and illegal) speeds, and perform better when loaded with people/luggage.
Just don't try to take your I-4 and race a 7th gen V-6. You will be owned.
Does anyone have any drag strip experiences to backup or dispute the numbers?

I was at the strip recently and the V6 6ht gen accords are surprisingly slow. the best times I saw were mid to high 16s. I was hitting low to mid 16s, I was kind of shocked by that. so your data you posted is pretty accurate. and I agree those 7th gen V6 6spds are quick. I love the looks of the coupe.

I think they look good, but I test drove one, and wasnt very impressed. Its got some power, thats obvious, but its too heavy and there are too many blind spots.
(BTW I test drove an 04 6sp, I liked the TSX better)

The V6 is faster in every respect, the 0-60 in 8.3 was done at a very high elevation on a hot day. It's much faster especially on the highway than the 4 cylinder. The V6 has 40 more horsepower and only like 150 more pounds, if that. The 4 banger 5 speed might have close 0-60 times because of the stick.
