You betcha. Just trying to enlighten someone about the fact that there are no generalities in saying that one car is as "fast" as another just from one or two numbers.

although the accord is a nice car, the accord has never won any rally events, therefor it is not "cool" in my book

No one is listening. All I'm saying is if you have two identical cars both making 300 WHP and one is AWD and one is RWD they will both accerlate at exactly the same rate.

TWO IDENTICAL CARS WITH DIFFERENT DRIVE TRAINS MAKING THE SAME WHEEL HORSE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!

Julio08OBP Sti · 03-16-2008, 03:02 PM

what if one of the cars was only geared to max at 59 mph top gear?

2slow2curious · 03-16-2008, 03:04 PM

um lol?

BuzSTid · 03-16-2008, 03:04 PM

no such thing as identical: there are different parasitic losses through the drive train. you have one or two additional differentials in an all wheel drive car.

I agree with the OP and can't wait for Subaru to realize their "sports car" isn't cutting it any more. I love my 06 but there's a reason it's getting a turbo upgrade...

And yeah I know it's not about straight line speed, but guess what? Straight line speed matters and getting rolled by an accord or neon with a boost controller is a serious problem.

I pulled on the new M3 V8 today. Why couldnt you pull on a honda?

KruxSTi · 03-16-2008, 03:26 PM

I'll believe an STi losing to an Accord when I see it. And even then.
