If you invest in a nice suspension and tires (and larger and wider wheels preferably) then it'll at least be fun (and faster) to drive in the turns.
I don't really see the appeal in dropping a half second from your et when you're starting with what you got. I'd much rather tear down a windy road than make a 16-17 second pass.
But that's just me.
And even if you DO end up building some drag monster...you are gonna need some suspension, tires modification to help your times.
And BTW...you won't likely get much help with an attitude.
I agree with jschmid completly on suspension. the accord might not be meant to be fast but you can have a lot of fun on the back roads with a good suspension setup. you already have all the basic bolt-ons and what you are willing to spend for performance will not get you much. maybe a nitrious kit might be for you, you should be able to pick up a kit for what you have in your budget so that is another option. if you do run nitrious you'll have to get some colder spark plugs and your going to have to run premium gas when you run the gas. Zex makes an almost idot proof nitrious kit, I'd recommend their new wet kit. If I had to do it all over again the very first think I'd do to my car would be suspension, but that's just me. good luck in your decision.
