Okay so Accord V6 auto is 7.1 seconds, maybe I mis calculated mine. It could
be around 7.6 0-60, but still the Accord coupe V6 manual is supposed to do
0-60 in 5.5 sec, so thats worth looking at. I'm just not crazy about driving
a manual in traffic, but I drive almost all highway to work and on an
average work day drive no more than 14 mi round trip. So its not like I am
going to be in bad and high traffic everyday. I wish honda accord would come
out with a sequential sport shifter or paddles.
