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!!!

 

The engine I beat was a J35A3: 265hp, 253 tq.It was the MDX in the my sig :-D. That particular engine has tremendous torque up to 2500 rpm and then the curve flattens. 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...

 

the TL-S is pretty powerful machineand 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..

 

HPJ... are you a gal? I thought you were a boy... or the pics from photobucket isn't you?

 

thats my wife.i'm married guy.

 

oh.... ooopppssss, my bad....

 

Motor Trend ran a 14.0 @ 102.5 in the 08' V6 6-spd Accord Coupe and i dont recall ever seeing an S2000 1/4 time in the 13 second range and im sure if it was, it would be high 13.8 or 13.9... i think this race would be alot closer then the nay-sayers are claiming

 

From Road & Track:

We were able to record 0–60-mph acceleration of 5.9 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.5 sec. at 99.8 mph.

 

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?
