2.0 Lancer GT 08 Vs 2.4 Accord ExSe 08

Accord is Mine obviously... Lancer GT is my friends'
Started off immediately after taking the first r/a at mamzar towards Slipway...
he was in front of me wen we hit the R\A.. so it started at around 60 KMPH...

i felt it really tough to get ahead of him...coz he had the avantage of steptronic shift...i tried shifting down.. but it din work... we both had one passenger wid us...
but after reaching 130Kmph i caught up with him... and at around 145 i was ahead of him wen we hit the next R\A I was doing 160kmph... so that was the end of the it...

but i thought it was easy to smoke a Lancer even if it was 2.0L... but yest i understood its a bit tough job... (atleast wid my Accord)

it was straight line race so i think its got nothing to do wid the skill of a driver...

and soon hes gonna do som mods on it... so its gonna be even tougher...

but i'm confident if it was my 2.5 altima 07... i would hav done it much easier...
and even my brother accord 07 does beter than 08 accord...

i wonder y they reduced the from 187bhp on 2007 Accord to 177bhp on 2008 accord...

usually it happens the otherway round...

Whoever told you that the gen7 accord is 187? Al futtaim brochure? :D

The actuall is 166.

the reason that the gen8 is slower cuz of more weight, its a full size sedan now, compared to mid size sedan before.

07 accord has a faster pickup than 08. i had a race with a friend's 08 and gave him a big gap, but when the race started from 80km/h he went ahed.

The accord has shity responce cuz of a DBW throttle. And the '08 is heavier as its bigger that gen7.

i have a 09 lancer gt , i raced both my friends accord and ultima 08's
my car is stock , i just have a Greddy exhaust . "not headers". and i smoked them both starting on 40km/h ,"straight line" after 120 -140 they both smoke me , but not by a huge distance b/c of less weight and bigger engine :) ultima is 2.5 and accord is 2.4

ps: for all lancer users , on D is faster than using the steptronic ,dont believe me? read about CVT Transmission

i have accord 2.4 '07. Lime's lancer is faster than my accord..i raced with him once and he crossed me around 100~120km/h, i think..
i had raced an altima 2.5 '08 my cars pickup was faster than it, but recently i raced my friends 08 altima, it screwd me big time..his car is stock...
performance of all cars isnt same even it its the same make n model.
