2008 Accord performance differences?
Hello,
I was reading somewhere, which I cannot remember off hand that the 2008
Accord V6 coupe with the 6 spd MT will do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. I was more so
considering the Accord V6 automatic 5 spd for the next car, than the manual.
So I was wondering what the 0-60 difference would be? No one seems to
mention it anywhere, but I would estimate about 5.8 or so. I have the EX-L 4
cyl with the 5 spd auto and I believe it does 0-60 in about 6.8 seconds.
To put this into perspective, the 2008 Accord V6 6spd MT does 0-60 in 5.5
seconds. The Aston Martin DBS V12 (used in 007 Casino Royale movie) with 500
hp does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. You sacrifice 1.2 seconds and save around
$170,000.00. I think I'll go with the Accord, unless I win the lottery!
I know all this means nothing to most people, but I'm still into
performance, although when it all comes down to car buying I still want
comfort and convienience and for a bargain. So I'm not going to and get a
Pontiac G8 because its RWD and its a V8, and I don't want to spend more than
31k tops.
Thanks,
Al
