I love Accord , its the best of bests, no doubt altima is also kool, just check it out why altima is cheaper than accord, becaz accord has long life engine

My friend Got V6 accord 2007 he smashed 3.5 altima like anything in front of my eyes and they are superb drivers with 6ft height.. they can handle car easily..

If ur talkin bout honda
then ur talkin bout POWER

what does 6ft hieght gotta do with racing!!....to see the bonnet??


well winesome boy this can be argued..i agree honda engines are long lasting and very reliable...PLUS they are vtec..but the altima 3.5 has got the same potnetial.if i am correct it has the same engine as the 350z!!..the only difference is the 350z is chipped and has a little bit extra pieces here n der (correct me if i am wrong)....

check the weight ratio's and the torque..and m sure you'll be surprised!!!...

bro accord is 96k full options and altima 98k..how does it make cheaper! and i dont think price gotta do anything wid life of engine :? Both cars are realiable , if taken care. and bro 6ft height does do anything 4 handling for a car... Ask ur friend to race wid me , i am nt 6ft but ya i will give a try :P . The diff in altima's engine and 350z is only cams and position of how is it kept and a bit ecu tuning..
p.s : i am waiting for ur friend to smash me :D and about honda's power i never underestimate, but plz never underestimate nissan (Y)

gtr-35...who are you talking to guy?? i am kind of confused bcoz i didnt say anywhere that the more expensive the car the longer it will last...all japenese have a long engine life..thats why they are reliable!!!....

and just under curiosity imagine tuning a altima 3.5 with a CAI, exhaust system, and maybe add in a decent pully kit..i think it will out perform the accord V6 if it had the same modd's in it...the engine is amazing, it has a lighter body then accords, its a low compression engine (not sure about that..i heard from someone) and its traction is much much better then the accords...

this can go on forever...accord v6 is very nice..it has a nice drive and its powerfull...its just what your looking for...each car is good in its on place...i dunno guys....i still got my doubts...unless someone shows me a video showing me that altima suxs!!

are you talking about a drag race or a street-race??? my friend who would like to take his accord/altima for a drag race??? whereas on a street race it depends on the driver as well.... the way he makes his way through the traffic.... don't you know that dude??? i wonder what kind of a street racer you are / will be ?!?!?! :roll:
