falkore24's photo gallery 		J series has a ton of potential, but until the 7th gen, I don't think the car was built properly to handle the V6 engine.  Also, there is very little support for it since Honda mainly makes 4's.

Finch, I used to love smoking older accords with my V6!!!

It has no pull above 50 MPH, I hate it! Even the hp-to-weight ratio doesn't play out right. In my old Accord I was at 22 lbs per 1 hp, the MDX only has 17 lbs per 1 hp. It should have whooped me. I can't speak for the J35A3 in the TL-S though...

Status: offline 		the TL-S is pretty powerful machine and a nice tone to go with the accelaration,sounds relatively similiar to the G35 just a little more quiet and smooth and you only hear it during accelaration. but i rode in a 2002 and 2007 and the suspension on the 2002 feels much better,the 07 seemed a little rough when hitting bumps..

so...  because R&T ran a 0-60mph of 5.9 and a 1/4 mi of 14.5 @ 99.8mph, Motor Trend didn't run a 0-60mph of 5.7 and a 1/4 mi of 14.0 @ 102.5mph?

Status: offline 		maybe the R&T isn't a common time...  in fact, i think that R&T time is the slowest i've seen for a 6spd V6 Coupe

Car and Driver did 0-60mph in 5.6 and the 1/4 mi in 14.2 @ 102mph...  sounds like R&T wasn't finding the right shift points after launch.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/the_coupe_coop/2008_honda_accord_coupe_ex_l_v_6_short_take_road_test

either way, back to the original argument, i think these figures prove the 08' V6 Coupe w/ a 6spd wouldn't get "killed" or "demolished" by an S2000
