Yeah whatever :rolleyes:

Close this thread...

why close this threaD? why do people take it so seriously that an accord can beat a rex? its very possible, and jspecs accord had no serious mods done to it so an accord with some serious mods could very easily play up to be something mean...well thats if the wrx is stock but yeah

btw accord type r is a bit different to tuned h22a cd5 accords, different shape, etc etc

anyways if you really wanna leave the rex for shit just turbo the h22a

this comparison is a bit dumb :/ you already know on a stop-start, wrx will win hands down, so you create a situation where it's a rolling start to hopefully gain an advantage, yet to shame us NA engines again. I think unless you're on a s2000 vtec'in at 11k rpm NA style, not many stock honda range (cept NSX) can be faster than wrx.

lol..... subaru > honda

haha...who cares man...my car couldnt even beat a 121 bubble cos i was on the wrong gear in auto, and she was in 1st gear in redline!

Whether it's a rolling start or a start from stand still, rex will always beat H22A Accord easily. If you think otherwise, you haven't driven a rex.
Unless you spend $50K-60K, there aren't many cars out there that comes anywhere near the rex in terms of sheer performance. Turbo H22A? It's still a FWD and it'll struggle to put the power on the road anyway. Besides, if you spend a fraction of what it costs to turbo the Accord on a Rex, it'll still be faster yet again.

I wouldn't be so sure of that Coladuna. The jdm h22a is powerful engine coupled with the relatively light accord body (eg lighter than your WRX)- strange call to say it would be "easy". I have driven the WRX in both STI and standard varients and from rolling start I never felt either was anything remarkable as it took time for the turbo to spool up.

The question was not about a standing start where the benefits of 4WD and a turbo being dumped from massive revs clearly holds the advantage.

Unless you dump your model WRX from high revs it is a 7 second car (or maybe very high 6s) to 100kph (from idle launch). Care to prove me wrong on that?

Anyway "rolling start" is somewhat of a meaningless expression. In what gear, and from what speed? So many variables and it is impossible to say in all circumstances the WRX would succeed.

Catch a wrx off boost on rolling and you'll win, both of these cars against a V8 on a rolling and it will be bye to both honda and subaru.

can i ask an honest question? How many ppl in this thread have actually driven or been in a h22a accord?


* puts hand up *

*puts hands up* in cams :D

dw cam, most ppl here dont realise the potential h22a accords have
