What can the Accord beat?

I was just curious what my 97 LX 4 cyl w/ I/H/E and other mods could beat?  I really dont want a ticket, but am simply curious as to what average street cars or other cars that people modify that it can beat?  Or what you have actually beat?
And how much hp do you think I have w/ my mods?  Hopefully I am around the EX's hp range.

I got beat by a Saturn Ion one time, it was the new 04+ styles...when I came home I found out the 4 cyl have about 190hp stock...oops!

is that a 2.3 w/ Vtec ? Cause i ran my buddy  hes got a Ford Probe GT w/ V6 manual.. im auto and i beat him.. i dont know how.. maybe just luck and would never happen agian but i did beat him.. So im not sure what yours would beat..

I would estimate that you are probably around 145, maybe 150 hp at the crank.  You should be able to beat quite a few cars, like mostly stock Civics (older ones for sure), Cavaliers, Neons (obviously not the SRT-4 lol), stuff like that.  I still wouldnt be taking on any V6s or Civic Sis, stuff like that.  But you should be able to hold your own.  Of course, I dont condone street racing (I got a $450 ticket for it in 2003), as its unsafe and foolish.  But yeah, next time you take it to "the track"...  lol

i think you could even beat some mildly modded civics, del sols, crx's, and accords

Mildy modded Civics, yeah, but more than I/H/E and they might have you.  They are a fair amount lighter.  A del Sol Si that is modded will probably be quite a challenge, they had either 127hp or the 160hp B16A2/3.  CRXs?  Oh yeah, unless they have had a lot of work done to them.  An Accord with VTEC will probably beat you though.  Of course, this doesnt take into account the driver's skill.

Thanks for the info!  That def. causes the mood to rise, and make those hard earned bucks well worth it!  Cavaliers? lmao  I wouldnt even bother...A Neon would be fun.  I'd rather not waste my gas on any GM garbage, but Mopar, most definitely.

Dont the 94-97 Accord EX's have vtec?  So if I had 150ish and they had the 145 w/ vtec I am still assuming they would win b/c of the increase of power more quickly. 

And Poser, so what all happened w/ the racing ticket?  Just curious!

for your modded accords' , you guys could also change the pullies and cam gears for more power also

True, but I dont know how comfortable I would be, if I had to use a belt other than Hondas....considering if it breaks, you pretty much lose your motor.

cant you get a longer timing belt from honda and use the aftermarket pully?

mine has 150 stock and with all my mods im hoping to be running 165 +. . .ive beaten eclipses non turbo 95-2003. .civic ex's 95-2004. .integras LS non vtec. .civic hatchbacks are a waste of gas. . .and definately older accords. .neons non turbo suck. .cavaliers??ha. .celica gt's are slow. . .porsche 944 non turbo ahhhhh

with my 5 speed 94 Civic DX I beat my friends Eclipse (non-turbo) V6 Auto up till about 45... those cars don't launch for crap and suck on the low end....

the newer V6 accords are pretty quick in manual form and fairly quick in auto form.
 
a 97 LX comes stock with 130hp and IEH might give you 20hp tops.........
 

I do not of course condone road racing, but in my yoof the excitement was about whether or not you could beat the guy next to you. In fact if I thought I could then I did not bother.

Nowadays so long as the car feels good I don't care

you sound like my older brother who has a benz E-500. He says to me "Why do you put all that loud stuff in your car, it doesnt matter how fast your car is, any car you buy will go fast enough, stop wasting money on the sports stuff it be better if you make you car more luxury to drive"    My response  "You have 300hp and a insane amount of tourque and ive seen you hit 140mph with you benz without effort........Its easy for you to say" 

Well ive been alot of cars in our class, camery v6, neons (normal ones)  - onced raced a SRT4 too embrassed to talk about it, ecplises, celica, mr2, civics- up to a certain point, ford's
i also keeped up with a WRX once, i didnt do so bad. He was also modded though.

CRX si would own the accord
I used to own one and all i did was put an intake on it, thing beat a few cars including an oz lancer, 05 tiburon, bunch of other stuff

A CRX Si?  Hmm.  They have 108hp stock.  No way would it beat an Accord, unless you swapped engines, or got a JDM or European SiR with a B16A. 

that crx only ways roughly 2100lbs at 108HP, Accord EX is 2800lbs at 140hp.... they're about dead even power/weight

Well I raced a CRX Si a few weeks ago, from a rolling start of about 10 mph.  Not sure of his mods except that he had a loud exhaust (assuming Megan, since he had a big Megan sticker on his rear window) and I dominated him. So Im just saying, a CRX Si would not own an Accord.

gotcha!  I'd agree that a standard CRX si would not OWN an accord at all.... it may be able to keep up and even beat it for a short distance from a dead stop but no owning involved unless they had the 180hp version.... and I can't believe you beat that car a megan sticker that big had to add like 50HP.... *L* I hate huge stickers unless they're sparco

I know, I was a little scared when I saw the sticker, but I figured I would give it a shot anyway.  Ive seen the guy around town a few times, his car looks pretty clean, but it sounds like crap.  His exhaust is way too high pitched, I hate that sound.  I would assume that he probably has some sort of intake and a header, but I havent talked to him to ask him.  All I have so far is an SRI lol.

And oh btw the v6 mustangs are a joke, You can take them with a accord. Especailly in the top end speeds.

V6 Mustangs are a joke, (new or old ones) can catch the GT Mustangs when the VTEC kicks in, A GTO beat me by a nose from a red light start ( It was some chick who didn't know how to shift, it still counts in my book!), beat an S2000 that had some basic mods to it, all civics except Si's with boost are a joke, barely beat a SRT4, got spanked by an SRT8 charger, Scion's are a joke, beat a 350Z (don't know the difference between the enthusiast or the touring car though).............although I don't condone street racing, I say take it to the track, but I figure I pretty much ask for it when people can hear any kind of loud exhaust note.

i beat an integra gsr with my accord v-tec (auto  i might add)
 
haha, he could drive a stick i guess because he stalled twice before the light actaully turned green

Yeah, I dont know what Accord you are driving, but I know that an Accord with just I/H/E isnt going to touch an SRT 4 or an S2000.  Uh uh, no way.  You must be either boosted pretty well, or in a newer V6 coupe with some mods.
