I may have missed it being said earlier in this thread, but does anyone know if the new Accord V6 will be available with a manual?

the reason why your gsr feels faster is b/c it is lighter and has much better high rpm torque which with good gearing makes it fast...same way the celica gt-s is a fast/faster car than the gs-r
the 240sx isn't a high rev car...it uses a truck engine much like the current 2.5 in the new altima/sentras...it has lots of low end torque making it much easier to daily drive but limiting it in the upper rpms

Jaje when were you led to believe that the 7th gen has the J30? And I've heard 240hp confirmed.

Yeah, I thought you said 220 hp, but ft/lbs...sorry. Is it seriously based off the J30? Why not just create a new generation of i-VTEC V6's so they can eventually go into the TL, MDX, Pilot, and Ody?

I understand they can add VTC yianni, but it would make more sense to design a brand new i-VTEC V6 (that is smoother and more refined with more low end oomph) in order to use the basic block in other designs.
