top speed for 1/4 mile?? i had a top speed total which was 130 on my 96' accord
a manual would run somewhere around 18-17 (v6) i think...

a V6 manual coupe should run at least in the low 16s, if not alot better...ive seen auto sedans run in the 17s...

I haven't had a good reason to go to the track yet. I know I'd run approx. a 16.1 to 16.3.

i wouldnt be surprised to see a V6 accord coupe with a manual trans, and a good driver get into the 15s...especially if it is modded at all...my car is only an auto and i ran 16.1

I've seen the timeslips on several stock 6th gens and modded 6th gen i4's. The 6th Gen V6 auto and i4 manual run approx. the same quarter stock. Low 16's. Modded V6's and 4cyl.s get into the 15's easy. The V6 only comes in auto, so those with manual trannies, have CL or TL trannies which equals $$$$$ and that means they probably have the Comptech S/C. Not sure what the S/C'd V6 runs. I'm sure mid to low 14's. 17's for an auto i4 for is common. A good driver could break 16 though. I don't plan on getting clocked until I get boosted.

So u think for my car i'd prolly run 16's? maybe 15?..... or 17? cause see there lots of weight in my trunk from the fibrerglass and subs..... other then that its nnot bad

Not sure...Depends you can run anywhere in the 16-17 range. A guy w/ a 4cyl 5spd all bolt-ons, and 18's ran a 15.7. Performance changes due to altitude and temp also.
