Now, why would you be trying to see who had the faster car unless the Acura was an suped up Integra or, which I doubt, an NSX? A 94 Acura v.s. a 2004 Mustang. Stupid....

 

When I lived in San Diego the cops didn't care if you street raced. All they would do is give you a heavy fine, suspend your license, put you in jail, and confiscate your car.

 

Gosh. Wish it was like that down here.

 

My ex-girlfriend used to have a 1991 Acura Legend, and it'd spank a 2004 Mustang V6. A GT, though...

 

Legend vs Base Stang.......that's a v6 versus a v6.

Pretty much all other Acura's have v4's........if I remember right even a 94 Integra GSR only had 160 hp. The GT would blow it away.

I guess it wasn't a GT or else it wouldn't have been a race.

 

i thot all 4 bangers were inline??

 

Not necessarily, but yeah, on the Acks, I'm sure they're inline, er, maybe F-4's.

 

they are inline. subaru is the only company with a flat four.

 

i think porsche makes a horizontally opposed engine too, but there all 6 cylinders i think

 

Porsche & Volkswagon both made an air cooled horizontally opposed 4 cylinder engine.

 

30 minutes from home....too funny

Just to clarify...my home (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill)

Wish they gave the speeds though.

 

All they would do is give you a heavy fine, suspend your license, put you in jail, and confiscate your car.



okay. could be the way I'm reading this, but I think I'd take just the ticket.

 

honda makes mostly all I-4s. they have an acura I-5 (acura legend type II) but the "big dawg" which is the NSX which is the V6 with VTEC. the 2 door accords have V6 also with VTEC but the weight of them and the fact they dont come in a manual until the newer ones, make the slush boxes. i have a Honda that i raced a ton of mustangs which i beat. not saying hondas are better than fords or the other way, but put a 210 hp engine in a 1700lb car and it will be fast.

 

a mustang is a mustang. if it were the slowest of sports cars, id still have one. i even had a 96 gt and loved it, and geez it was sloowww.
