old SAE rating system
Permalink   


Motor Trend got a 2005 Accord sedan weighing 3377 lbs to run 93.1 mph in the 1/4 mile (link). That Accord has 240 hp under the old SAE rating system; it would have about 230 hp using the current SAE rating system.

The 2008 Accord coupe V6 6-MT weighs 3446 lbs (
link) and has 268 hp and almost 50 lb-ft more torque than the '05. My guess is this new coupe will trap the 1/4 mile close to triple digits. If so, it would have a higher ET than the WRX, MS3, GTI and other peformers costing mid-$20s (assuming this Accord costs $28.5k).
