Hi all.
Wow its been years since ive been here. Last time I had a 3G accord...... 2005?
Anyway, I made a huge mistake. I bought a non Honda (Hyundai i30 diesel), and now that its almost sold (paperwork on Monday), its back into a decent car :P

Ive pretty much decided on the DC5. And my options are thus.

120k km DC5 Base - $9.5k
120k km DC5 Luxury - $10.5K
155k km DC5 TypeR - $12k


Now, before the type R bandwagon leap on me, Yes. Im in love with the recaros, the lower stance, and the stock body kit. The extra power is tempting.

HOWEVER!
I do not track my car. (the dream is there, the money is not)
Running costs do bother me as I like to drive distance (I do use 95ron anywho)
I'm 100% about acceleration. I do NOT speed.

I WONT be breaching 120kmph interstate
I WILL be accelerating off the lights and out of on-road corners. (unlikely LSD needed speeds)


What I wondered, was, how the models compare to each other in acceleration. Not top speed?



How about with a reflash?

On paper, the base with a reflash should be faster until 'vtec kicks in yo', correct?

Even without the reflash, the base has more torque sooner.

Oppinions?



Scythe.
