Give me one racing venue where a stock GT wouldn't stomp all over the Accord. 20 more hp, helluva more useful powerband, RWD, and some tires that have an intended purpose of something other than long treadwear and low rolling resistance. Not to mention that a GT stickers for $23,845 and I'm sure you can bargain the hell out of a Ford dealer. Oh, and add a Vortech blower and you have 400 hp.
In any of those new Ford commercials, Bill Ford reminds me a lot of George W. Bush.
But the thing is, you care about auto-cross and what not. People dont buy cars with racing them in mind, they buy them for a daily driver. 95% of people who are looking at a mustang or an accord coupe dont even know what autocross is. Since I dont plan on doing auto-cross, much less street racing, the Accord is a better car for me, as for a lot of other people.
As for the 6spd V6 Accord, from what I understand those are very good tires, very sticky and un-Honda like.
Also RavenLude, I see GT's run low 14's.
