this is a ghetto video of my speedo doin the ton. watch carefully and you will see that i dont take off until about a second into the clip and when it hits 100 the elapsed time of the vid is in the 6 second vicinity.

I don't see how a Accord with H22A engine will be that fast.
I haven't driven one, but I have owned a JDM Prelude Si VTEC and WRX feels a lot faster. Prelude is actually lighter than CD Accord by about 30kg.
Not sure how you claim the same engine will be so much faster in an Accord shell.

I have driven a number of Honda cars before switching to a WRX, so I think I have a better idea of what's faster compared to the people who says "my friend beat a wrx off the line" crap

i had a simular thread and got deleted

get over it ppl,
wrx= bred performance car with potential
accord= luxurious medium size car with moderate power to get u moving.

well if people keep street racing out of this I don't have a problem with it..

Rexys are excellent performance cars for the price. The only thing I don't like about them is the basic, low rent interior, "not so attractive" exterior and insurance costs. Otherwise I probably would've bought one instead of the Euro.

lol it wasnt even for street racing
just exactly the same as this

i rekon it should be closed. These "VS" style threads have too many variables are and stupid. Like i have said a trillion times take it to the track and find out for urself and tell us how u went.

i have witnessed h22a accords car running a boosted civic that would beat rexies convinsingly...
and his was neck and neck with the civic...
i have the video somewhere on this forum to prove the point...

my point is that too much of this thread is based on hear-say. I dont know why a JDM h22a in an accord goes so well but i am making this claim because i own one.

The reason why a rex feels faster is that they pull almost 1g during acceleration due to the initial boost of the turbo but thats about it.

I agree. The Rex feels fast but honestly isn't that fast.
Even a slightly modified one doesn't pull 1G in 1st gear, its more like around 0.6X G to 0.7XG. But if you do an AWD launch it'll pull 1G for a fraction of a section... probably for like 0.2 of a second LOL.

Its all about the power delivery band - which is sudden mid-range boost from nothing. It makes one think its really fast, when in reality - its just fast. A mid 13 high 14s car.

Nah a stock WRX doesn't do the quarter in 13s. It does it in 14s. Only the Stis and Evos do 13s.
