Maybe if you want a project car, but if all you want is speed, you get a used 5.0 Mustang, put about $3,000 in to it and you can be running 11's and 12's all day. Or you can get the SRT-4. The new Accord is a very quick car, but by no means is it a speed demon. Its a great daily driver, a very comfortable car to drive in, definitely quick, will have easy upgradability when a turbo/SC comes out, gets great gas mileage, and looks great(IMO).
Most Hondas, in their price class, are among the fastest vehicles. Accord I4, Accord V6, Pilot, MDX, S2000, TL, NSX, TSX, RSX, RSX-S etc etc
If you actually think that comparing a used 5.0 Mustang to an Accord is valid, I don't think there's any sense continuing this discussion. ****ing
obviously you can spend your $20,000 and build a 10 second car, but we're talking about new cars here. Name me a better new car that is faster than the I4 Accord
and cheaper
and matches the reliability and interior and all of those intangibles and objective and subjective crap.
Like I said, not even going there. Just another statement from a non-enthusiast.
