most h22a accords are running JDM engine and ecu and have the JDM M2B4 LSD gear box with the best ratios for quick times.
people that never own a wrx will never understand...that :DQuote:

mayb because i neva seen them go....
ohh wellz...mayb one day a accord would actually try me...
but i'm very interested in the accord euros..wat engines do they have?...its a 3ltr vtec correct?..they go hard?
euro has 2.4L i-vtec engine. The 3L one is the V6 Accord
who cares about rexes anyway...they are unrefined buckets of crap....they dont handle that well and they dont stop to well either...big whoopee doo...they are so over rated but in actual fact is that unless they are worked they are not that quick.....and yes i have driven quite a few wrxs and i have owned 3 turbo awd cars in the past......
seen road tests that have a 6 speed euro pulling 15.2 standard so yes they are quite rapid..Quote:

don't dc2r pull somthing like that stock...??
my weekend car is a rex...it doesn't handle like a type r but goes up against the big boys in a straight line.....eg...gtrs....supra rz...evos...
but the rex handles good enough for me...as i don't usually gun my car around corners...
but i really do like the handling off my friends type r...
on GOR he practically left us behind...
type r is the top off the range integra....
top off the range wrx is sti...thats abit more fair when it comes down to handling...normal wrx only has front lsd...
sti has lsd front n back so i would imagine it would handle much better than a wrx
you have overcompared with an STI and type R which leaves you open to a 10g difference between the two.Quote:

AWD cars shine when they are run in the wet for the grip factor and on gravel in rallies. On track they will need a bit of help with suspension mods but will understeer badly when stock.
So seems like we are comparing apples to oranges AGAIN

The reason why the WRX is used as a benchmark when people talk about performance cars is because it is the best bang for your buck performance car that the 'average' person can afford. Its turbo AWD and it only costs mid-40K to get on the road - and it has stock performance that could outrun more expensive european "sports" cars....thats why its always used as a benchmark.
Lets face it, any sports car in the honda range (except the NSX) stock cannot beat a stock WRX - thats a given. Honda's were never engineered to be straight line rockets, otherwise there would be turbo charged models..
can wait till i put a h22a end of next month, my car now has died wouldnt even start no more, needs a transplant :)
my friends say that a h22a can beat a wrx on rolling start. What do u guys think?
i know for sure that h22a can beat a stock c18 but i dont know about Wrx though
