Default Just test drove a 95 Accord LX

whoa...That thing had mad power. It was a 5-speed, LX, purple/grey, with a intake. I mean this thing could seriously smoke my car. I was suprised how quick it was. At first I thought it was swapped so I pulled over to check it out and it only had a intake. I loved it. It was going for 6200K I beileve. 105,000 miles. The only thing I dident like was the color and interior. If it was black or white I would of been cool with it. But I was mostley suprised with how quick it was. Pretty fun!

My vote is that either the car was in a lot better shape mechanically (unlikely), or that it just feels a ton faster because of the 5 speed....and I'll admit even a 18 second car feels faster than some 17 second cars with a 5 speed - a lot more fun to drive....feels a lot faster for sure.

well my accord auto ran 16.5 and I mean I was watching the gauge just hit redline each time. I got to 60 extremly quickly. I mean I was very suprised with the performance. I even gunned it in my car after to just see again and I felt like I was in a civic or something. It was weird.

And a 1 second differance is a pretty good amount of cars. At least 1 1/2 from what I saw when I raced some quicker cars.
