There's an article in SCC magazine from sometime this year about cop cars. The Crown Vic was about 17 secs in the quarter mile in that test. I think the Accord stands a pretty good chance.

Considering driveline losses you get:

Accord: 1:23 PWR

Crown Vic: 1:19 PWR

Now this obviously doesn't account for gear ratios, driver, suspension condition, etc. Now this was just a quick calculation and technically torque is what wins races, not HP, so read into it how you may. The Vic wins on paper, but it might be a whole different situation on the track.

maybe she is working undercover and is trying to bust you :rick:

give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. and then if you ever get in a tight spot you know how you stack up to your local boys in blue.

You didn't read the "friend's girl" part did you. :rick: Actually he was trying to set me up with her until he decided "screw Sean I am taking her."
