C&D estimated about 8.1 and 16.5. I don't think there are any official magazine numbers yet, just estimates.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by caboray:
Anyone know of the stats? The '02 feels much quicker than the '01.</font>
I would hope so. 30 more horsepower and a lower first gear ratio courtesy of the 5 speed transmission better count for something!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by caboray:

Nice job Adam! With the 1,000 lb. weight advantage of the Accord, I would expect it to be pretty close with 40 fewer HP. Of course gearing etc. come into play-not to mention driver skill!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by adam1991:
Love the power, but boy, does she suck gas. Big time.
It took some solid leadfooting, a real will to keep the hammer down, but I dusted a new Accord V6.

Well, since by default the minivan is expected to be the slower vehicle, there's nothing to "lose" right? Now, if the Accord had lost, that would be a different story...<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by poncho1965:
I wonder if they were really trying? My father-in-law has a 95 Accord V6, and I would not put my 02 Ody up against it (I hate to be embarrassed)!

Richard, I was thinking the same thing! A minivan at the track, I believe they would think the driver was smoking some wacky stuff! I am glad they saw fit to give the ODY 240 HP, finally, a vehicle that we can live with on a daily basis that is fun to drive!

Sorry.There's an article on his van at www.streetracing.org but the hyperlink that leads to his website doesn't work. He must have switched sites.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by DDakRT:
hachiroku, do you have the address to his site. I have been looking for it for some time since I lost everything on my hard drive. It could be my next project car...
