What do you think adds 3-5 horse power? exhaust header and intake are really the only thing that would do that to a honda, unless your talking an ebay chip(resistor) in which i still have a hard time believing that would do anything other than make you run rich. Papmurph, what do u seriously have done to your car? Those are the shittiest rules ever for a car club. Your saying a dsm with an exhaust and some gauges cant be in your club? are you going to meet in the car audio section at walmart or what?

All lx's are non-VTEC. 2500 lb.s vs 4000 lb.s

dude didn't you read the part of a car by car basis, i said we would like them to have this, but if not you're prolly still in, it also depends on the person, i have an intake, and an exhaust is comin tomorrow and a header before june.

2.2 liter vs. 5.0 liter

[Joel]

do u know it was the v8 model?

[papmurph]

4 cylinder vs. 8 cylinder high output, at least that's what the t-bird guy said

[papmurph]

it was the guy anell, you know the kid with the hyundai accent

Many Reasons....could apply here.....bad driver, something wrong with the car, weight disadvantage. Who knows though...could of been just the accord drivers mad skilzzzzzzz

We need a Domestic car club...:(.

Not that doms cant be in a import dominated car scene, but i've never seen a domestic only club around there.

[papmurph]

we should get a domestic car club so the imports vs. domestics, lol

From a history on Accords...
"Onthe mechanical side, carburetors were history, as fuel injection was made standard on all Accords. The new 2.2-liter engine pumped out 125 horsepower in DX and LX trims, and 130 horses in the EX." 125 horse in a littlecar vs 200hp in a really heavy car. up to 70, i believe that the accord should win, or could have possibly won. nothing special about the accord.

[papmurph]

allright cool, that's settled
