he will. My little brother had one and even with a CAI, and him only having taken off his resonator he would beat me under fair races either from a stand still and def while rolling. Only time you might have a chance is if from a rolling, his vtec doesnt enguage due to the car not wanting to downshift.
in all due respect your car is auto
soo.... we would need a manual in order to beat a similarly equipped auto accord? paper specs comparison says that its a fair fight auto vs auto, bottom line is that the accord is faster.
i'm almost positive a manual solara will take a manual accord. Similar weight, similar hp, but the sol takes it on torque big time.
'01 Accord
Curb Weight: 3283 lbs.
Horsepower: 200 hp
Torque: 195 ft-lbs.
99 v6 solara
Curb Weight: 3263 lbs.
Horsepower: 200 hp
Torque: 214 ft-lbs.
+ a CAI?
there is no chance the accord could win, unless the accord has a better auto transmission.
big time torque isnt as much of a difference as you think. I am saying that a manual solara vs. an auto accord isnt fair. You take auto vs auto and more than half the time the accord will take on a similarly equipped solara. (like me vs. my brother) torque makes no difference when top end power come into play. Believe me, i've seen many different types of races occur. you are fogetting that our cars are porkier than an accord.
